 |Thanks.  No, not Inventor.  But it does handle Performer.  It's an exporter

Sorry Chris, I mispoke.  The converter will handle Inventor, via OSG's
Performer loader.  I tested that by loading and displaying a few Inventor
models with OSG a few minutes ago.  In fact, via the Performer loader, OSG
reportedly will be able to handle all of these Performer-supported file
types/extensions:

Just specify -e pfb on the osgconv command-line to force use of the pfb
loader instead of the default (by-extension) loader.
