My delema is that I am trying to provide a service that can be used by all teams. In a nutshell, I need to find a few file types that can be imported my most of the CAD applications that all of us use. I only have access to Autocad, Inventor, and Solid Edge and do not know what file types (other than native) the other CAD applications can work with. I can generate IGES and dxf from Autocad and I've posted a few examples.

If some of you with other CAD software could try out these examples, I would be grateful.

At the very least I will provide the Inventor files because obviously that is one common application we all have access to.

While I would love to accept models from other teams with other applications, I have a couple concerns.

1. I have no way of verifying the contents and integrity of the file.

2. I have limited space on the server.


I will accept models in one of the "known" formats however if any team is inclined to contribute. So far, all of the models are my own work.
