Please STOP to say that VRML1 is similar to Inventor ... That's NOT TRUE!!!
If for very simple cases is it true, it's not the case for more complicate
cases (using inlines for example).
In the other hand, most of translators between fileformat assume ONLY the
geometry but NOT the texture or not the Inlines or even not the name after the
"DEF".
So, please i think that we have to be more realist and less enthousiasmistic
when we speack about such file formats tools!
BUT, IF YOU KNOW A GOOD TRANSLATOR BETWEEN VRML2 and INVENTOR,
assuming geometry, texture with a url imagename, Inlinre coherency, user name
definition etc ... --->>> Please tell me!!!
Have a nice day!
Olivier Aune.
