I have had sucess in printing the scenario files with Inventor.
A couple of modifications were necessary though.
1) put "#Inventor V1.0 ascii" as the first line
2) replace occurances of "cxGeoObj" with "Separator"
save the file and read into Inventor's SceneViewer. The print
command under the File menu converts the graphics to PostScript
and prints or saves to a file.
