For those using FreeCAD to view IDF files exported by KiCad, I have
submitted a patch to the import script Idf.py; for details see
http://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=1366


For those who use IDF but don't want to install FreeCAD, I would like
some feedback on whether an IDF to VRML converter would be of any
value. Free (at least 0 cost) VRML viewers are available for Linux,
OSX, and MSWin and a converter might provide a convenient tool for
viewing IDF files before sending them to the mechanical designers.
It might also help people spot and report any remaining bugs.
