We are constantly being challenged by all sorts of conversion tasks and find ourselves using incredible amounts of time finding first the tools that can do the job and then pre- and postprocessing to get a decent result. Not long ago I took a day and scavenged the internet for trial versions of several self contained tools boasting to be the top of the pops, to find that none of them could actually deliver what they promised. The one that came closest in supporting most formats was Right Hemisphere, albeit not perfect at all of them. My question, of course, is: Does anyone know of a toolbox that can convert a lot[/U] of 3D file formats? Not necessarily one single program - but definitely a limited[/U] collection.
It is, by the way, not so much PDMS models we need to convert. Mostly it is CAD files of just about any known format from vendors or customers that we need to merge with other CAD files of just about the same variety.
