A bunch of us have noted that inventor files we load into scenes are often,
if not always, rotated 90 degrees.
Investigation has shown that loaders can sometimes be made to perform
imports differently using the methods:
     pfdConverterMode, pfdGetConverterMode, pfdConverterAttr,
     pfdGetConverterAttr, pfdConverterVal and pfdGetConverterVal allow the
     user to access and alter the modes, attributes and values of specific
     loaders. These modes, attributes and values are defined inside each
     individual loader. These functions are provided as a means for the user
     to communicate with the loaders which are usually loaded as Dynamic
     Shared Objects at run-time.

However documentation on the loaders is sparse (read almost non-existent)
and leaves me wondering if the loader for inventor files can be "tweaked".

Anyone had similar experience with inventor files being rotated while
loading or tweaked the loader using this or other methods?
