I created the individual parts for the field in Inventor then exported them and assembled them in 3Ds Max because I am more familiar with that program. Inventor does not allow for things to be imported into it so I don't know if there is any way to convert the file. If you like I would be more than happy to give you the individual part files which are inventor files and you can assemble them that way. But if you are trying to build robots and simulate them on the playing field, using 3Ds is not hard. You can build the robots in inventor and then export them to 3Ds (use .sat file format for importing and exporting between these two programs, I find it simpler). It will import to scale with the rest of the field. You can then move/rotate the robot and field to your liking. 3Ds has the view cube like inventor and it works the same in both programs. To move objects, select them and then select the move tool which can be found directly under the modifier tab (looks like an x/y plane). The rotate tool is the circular button right next to it. To move the screen view, use the hand tool in the bottom right corner. Next to it is the orbit tool for the viewport and near those two is a magnifying glass which will allow you to zoom in and out. Those are the only two options I can think of that would be of any help. If you have anymore questions I would be more than happy to answer them for you.
