ivcat - concatenates and converts Inventor files
Contents
Description
ivcat reads each file in sequence and then writes each out. If no input file is given, or a filename of
"-" is specified, ivcat reads from the standard input file. The input files must be valid Open Inventor
3D Interchange Format files (1.0 or 2.0).
The following command line options are allowed:
-b Write out the files in binary Inventor format. The default is to write out the files in Inventor's
ASCII format.
-f Remove all SoFile nodes. This has the effect of condensing hierarchical files into a single file.
-h Print usage message.
-ofile
Send the output to the given file, instead of to the standard output.
-t Expand SoTexture2 nodes to explictly include the texture data rather than a file name.
Examples
To convert from binary to ASCII Inventor
ivcat<binaryfile.iv>asciifile.iv
To convert from ASCII to binary Inventor:
ivcat-b<asciifile.iv>binaryfile.ivFiles
