Hello,

I use Autodesk Inventor and would like to know if I can import solids from
Inventor to POV Ray.  I searched through the documentation for importing
but maybe I just missed it . . . I can save to iges, sat, step, and other
formats from Inventor.  But I can't see any way to get them into POV Ray?

Thanks
Jason

Export to DXF (if avalaible). To get a DXF use something like poseray, 
which supports the dxf exports.
