Export from Inventor to .3ds, .obj or even .max

[f700es]

Can inventor export to these file formats? I am working in a side/game project where a guy is making game models with inventor and we need a good conversion process. Any ideas? He is using .igs right now with hit-or-miss sucess. TIA :)

I do not have Inventor at home but I'm sure it will do that. I have ver 7 at school if you wait till Mon am GMT I can post a definitive answer then.

You are best off with SAT or STEP

if you have 3ds max and inventor installed on the same computer, you can import assemblys and parts into 3ds max with the import command.

Tired it a while ago.. its very usefull when rendering more realistic things, like lights, reflective materials... etc etc
