Solid Works files

Hi

I want to include 3D files into iBooks Author documents. I understand these need to be in the DAE format. The objects I wish to include have been produced from the software application SolidWorks and this can output files in the following formats: Xt, Stp, Sat, Stl, U3d, Ai, Cgr.

Do you know of any programs/workflows that can convert any of these formats to DAE?

Thanks
Derek

Blender for both mac and Windows. It’s free too…

By the by, MESHLAB for MAC and IOS is the only program I know of that VIEWS COLLADA…

ITS REALLY KIND OF SAD.

If the usership of this forum is any indication, no one cares about collada.
