NAME
ivdowngrade - converts Inventor 2.1 files to the Inventor 2.0 and 1.0
formats
SYNOPSIS
ivdowngrade [-v targetVersion] [infile outfile | infile ]
DESCRIPTION
ivdowngrade reads the input file infile and converts it to the Inventor
format specified by -v targetVersion , either 1.0 or 2.0. If the -v
option is not specified, an Inventor V2.0 file will be generated. The
input file can be in Inventor or VRML format. The output will always be
in ascii format. If no output file is specified, ivdowngrade writes to
stdout. If no input file is specified as well, ivdowngrade reads from
stdin.
EXAMPLE
ivdowngrade -v 1.0 foo.iv moo.iv
Downgrades the file foo.iv to Inventor V1.0 format, writing to
moo.iv.
ivdowngrade goo.iv
Downgrades the file goo.iv to Inventor V2.0 format, writing to
stdout.
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.
No data is lost going from the 2.1 to the 2.0 format.
