| AlToIv [ options ] [-i <infile> [-o <outfile>]] | |
| -h | outputs online help |
| -binary | switches the output to a more compact Inventor binary format. The default is Inventor ASCII format. |
| -ascii | outputs the ASCII inventor |
| -verbose | displays all messages. |
| -quiet | operates with no feedback |
| -notransforms | outputs world space objects |
| -alltransforms | outputs a full hierachy with transforms at each DAG node and each object space object |
| -transforms | outputs required transforms at each DAG node and at each object space object |
| -tri | tesselates all NURBS surfaces to triangles using settings from the Render Stats window |
| -quad | tesselates all NURBS surfaces to quadrangles wherever possible, using settings from thje Render Stats window |
| -nurb | outputs NURBS surfaces |
| -cameras | outputs cameras |
| -nocameras | does not output cameras |
| -instances | converts Alias instances to Inventor instances |
| -noinstances | converts Alias instances to copies |
| -inline | creates inline texture date instead of references |
| -noinline | creates referenced textures where possible (for file textures only) |
| -inventory | creates a single Inventor material or texture for each Alias material or texture, and an instance for each object |
| -noinventory | creates an Inventor material or texture for each object |
| -units name | outputs units with a specific name to indicate the type of the units. Name can be:MICRONS MILLIMETERS CENTIMETERS METERS KILOMETERS INCHES FEET MILES |
| -nounits | don’t output units |
| -scale scale | scale the Inventor file by a specified amount |
| -xres resolution | Non-file textures sample to this X resolution |
| -yres resolution | Non-file textures sample to this Y resolution |
| -noinstances | does not convert Alias instances to Inventor instances |
| Where: | |
| -i <infile> | specifies an Alias wire file to use as input. If not specified, input comes from stdin. |
| -o <outfile> | specifies an Inventor file to write output to. If it is not specified, the output is written to stdout. |
