Jeremiah -
thanks for the information, that is indeed very helpful.
Your list includes DXF, that was the preference before.
I am concerned that the export process will corrupt the file and we
release a file that will be painful to actually use.
From the formats you listed (Wavefront, DXF, STL), which is your
preference?
Which one do you believe is a format where Pro/E can export all
information into, without loosing much?
Thanks,
Wolfgang

I don't think ProE by itself is suitable, especially since you need
a copy of ProE even to import it to BRLCAD. I myself would suggest
Wavefront (.obj), ASCII DXF (.dxf), or STL (.stl) file. All are
standard formats & should be in ProE and any other 3D editor.
Instructions for converting from ProE to STL are as follows:
ProE
* File > Export > Model
* STL
* Set chord height to 0. The field will be replaced by minimum
acceptable value.
* Set Angle Control to 1
* OK
ProE Wildfire
* File > Save a Copy > Model
* Change type to STL (*.stl)
* Set Chord Height to 0. The field will be replaced by minimum
acceptable value.
* Set Angle Control to 1
* OK
I'm sure the process would be similar to convert to either of the
other 2 formats.

Interesting. I checked on BRLCAD's website
Converting Geometry Between BRL-CAD and other Formats, Page 17
http://ftp.brlcad.org/VolumeIV-Converting_Geometry.pdf
and it seems Pro/E import is actually quite solid. However you need
a seat of Pro/E to do the conversion.
Is releasing in Pro/E format (.prt and .asm files) an acceptable way?

Regarding the format, the original is in Pro/Engineer Assembly
(.asm) and Part (.prt) files. That's probably hard to digest for
any
FOSS CAD software.
BRLCAD[0] has preliminary support for this format.
