The translation of the model works great, It would be much more useful if the features would import with the parametric values so they could be editable. I have several thousand Pro-E & SolidWorks models with associated Drawings that I need to convert to Inventorl. Is this a future option? We would even be willing to Pay for it.

Thank you for the feedback. This is the kind of request we like to get and is why we make technologies available on Autodesk Labs. We can certainly consider this for a future update.

Is this add-in being updated for solidworks 2008?

The response I got from one of the team members is:

"I can’t make any promises about upcoming releases but we are working on it."

So it is something being considered for the future.
