I wrote an MicroStation to Inventor translation package, which is an Export
Option to be installed within MicroStation (written using MDL).
Performer reads Inventor fluently, and you'll get the package (for free) via
Ann Lagrone (e-mail adress is lagrone++at++engr.sgi.com)
Ann can (unless she can't) also provide you with other "to Inventor"
translation packages, such as IGES->IV, DXF->IV, ... for beta-testing.
