With the introduction of the OpenInventor scene graph rendering engine into AutoMod/ACE, the default compiled picture format was changed to be an embedded Inventor file. This format is also used to embed other "foreign" format graphics files, such as VRML, into a cell file.

The format for the type-specific parameters is as follows:

[FileLine<nl>
[...]]
#Inventor END<nl>

where FileLine is a line of source from a supported, embedded, 3D image file and <nl> is the newline sequence. Multiple lines may be read until the #Inventor END tag is read. Note that this tag is used even if the file is not an Inventor format file.

Care must be taken to ensure that the #Inventor END tag is not contained within the body of the embedded file.
