I read with interest your plans for adding translator support... I have a lot of legacy data in parasolid and acis format that I'd like to get into MoI. Until your translators are implemented, what's my best choice? Also I'd like to get MoI data out and into my CAD package so I can make some CAD drawings. Suggestions?

("The plan is that having the Rhino file format as the main file format should make it easier to use MoI within existing environments alongside Rhino. Also I benefit from other industry support for the Rhino file format too, such as www.solidworks.com/Pages/products/solutions/Rhino-to-SolidWorks.html.

"I think that Rhino's file format is really the best NURBS-based open file format available right now. At this point I didn't really have anything to gain by creating a new proprietary format. I expect to add some other file format support as the beta progresses. I've licensed the Solids++ kernel from Gary Crocker <www.integrityware.com>.")
