I used the converter for a while with mixed results. IGES is poorly
specified, so I couldn't get the full model I was interested in to load
in Performer. And CAD files being what they are, the pieces that did
load made for a very large file (that ran our Crimson out of memory...
real-time graphics just don't work when you run the machine out of
memory). At any rate, being able to get at least part of the file
to display slowly was much better than not being able to do anything with
it.
I also received some info from a couple of places that do database
conversion for a living. If you need more info ask me and I'll dig
into my notes...
