public class SoCADInputReader
extends SoInputReader

Class for importing a scene graph from a CAD file. This class can import data from a number of CAD file formats to an Open Inventor scenegraph.

Note that for each format, if the required license are available reading a file into Open Inventor is just like reading in an Open Inventor format file. Open Inventor will open the file and automatically detect its format and use this class to do the import.

List of supported formats:

File extensions	File Format
.catpart, .catproduct	CATIA V5. See CATIAV5_DETAILS.
.3dxml	CATIA V6. See CATIAV6_DETAILS.
.iges, .igs	IGES reader. See IGES_DETAILS.
.jt	JT. See JT_DETAILS.
.xmt, .x_t, .x_b	ParaSolid. see PARASOLID_DETAILS.
.par, .asm, .psm, .pwd	SolidEdge. see SOLIDEDGE_DETAILS
.sldprt, .sldasm	SolidWorks. see SOLIDWORKS_DETAILS
.prt	Unigraphics. see UNIGRAPHICS_DETAILS
.step, .stp, .stp.Z	STEP. see STEP_DETAILS
.dwg	Autocad Dwg. see DWG_DETAILS.
.asm, .prt, .xar, .xpr	PROECREO. see PROECREO_DETAILS.
.vda	VDA.

Important Notes:

Part names will be imported, but since the names are assigned directly to nodes, the Open Inventor node name limitations will be enforced automatically (see SoBase.setName()). For example ' ' (blank or space) characters are replaced with '_' (underscore) characters and a leading '#' (hash or pound sign) character will be replaced with "_" (underscore).
