# iv2toiv1(1)

converts Inventor 2.0 files to the Inventor 1.0 format

## NAME

iv2toiv1 - converts Inventor 2.0 files to the Inventor 1.0 format

## SYNOPSIS

**iv2toiv1** infile outfile

## DESCRIPTION

*iv2toiv1* reads the input file *infile* and writes it to the output file *outfile* in Inventor 1.0 format.

## NOTES

Because of differences between the 1.0 and 2.0 file formats, some data may be lost during the conversion to 1.0. For instance, the 2.0 file format for *SoSeparator* contains fields for caching and culling, but the 1.0 format for *SoSeparator* has no fields. This information is lost during the conversion process.

## FILES

/usr/share/data/models/\* - Sample Inventor 2.0 data files
