<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">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.<br>
<br>
Instructions for converting from ProE to STL are as follows:<br>
<br>
ProE<br>
<br>
* File > Export > Model<br>
* STL<br>
* Set chord height to 0. The field will be replaced by minimum
acceptable value.<br>
* Set Angle Control to 1<br>
* OK<br>
<br>
ProE Wildfire<br>
<br>
* File > Save a Copy > Model<br>
* Change type to STL (*.stl)<br>
* Set Chord Height to 0. The field will be replaced by minimum
acceptable value.<br>
* Set Angle Control to 1<br>
* OK<b><br>
</b><br>
I'm sure the process would be similar to convert to either of the other
2 formats.<br>

Interesting. I checked on BRLCAD's website
<br>
<br>
Converting Geometry Between BRL-CAD and other Formats, Page 17
<br>

<br>
<br>
and it seems Pro/E import is actually quite solid. However you need a
seat of Pro/E to do the conversion.
<br>
Is releasing in Pro/E format (.prt and .asm files) an acceptable way?

BRLCAD[0] has preliminary support for this format.
