Some people asked in the newsgroup comp.graphics.api.inventor for a program, which converts an Inventor file to a raster file. In principle, their is no general solution because an Inventor file describes a three-dimensional scene with or without lights and cameras.
Some viewers already provide functions to save a view to a raster file.
Here we provide a program, which can run in a batch without any user interaction. It might be useful in scripts generating web pages or just as a tutorial. All Rights Reserved.
