Hello Donald,
There are software already available that read IGES, proengineer files and
other cad file formats. the software is called webscope and its mainly a
design collaboration package. the link is
http://www.webscopeinc.com/products/products.html
I wonder if they wrote the code to read IGES themselves. I wanted to know
if there is any loader like VRML loader for Java3d that can create java3d
scene graph automaticaly from the vrml file.
