Babel3D - web based file translator

Babel3D is an online 3D file translation service. The input for translation to Babel3D can be an Autodesk 3DS, DXF, DWG, Rhino 3DM, SketchUp SKP, STEP, IGES or OBJ file. These files can be translated into the 3DS, OBJ and XAML 3D formats. Additionally, Babel3D also allows you to convert DXF and DWG files to 2D PDF format.

free.

Pretty neat, and free? Except for property rights of the translator, plus one could have problems with their client's work. Wounder about having to wait on email, and too bad, no Cad2Skp, unless you go by way of Obj. Can Iges handle textured 3d models? Hmm.... haven't used that translator in decades.

I haven't tried it. (nor do I see myself needing it right now)
Thought it was interesting though.
