Well, there was one, at any rate, see the August 95 mailing list archive.
This has (probably long outdated) information about getting translators
to Inventor from various formats. I did use their beta IGES to IV converter
with mixed success, as I had a lot of problems with geometry that didn't
really come through correctly. This probably says more about the IGES
standard (or lack thereof) than the translator's quality.

There seem to be more recent third party tools available, the SGI Inventor
page lists one or two converters. However, I haven't had to dabble in these
areas for a while...
