1. Hypershot 1.x had an Alias translator (beta) that worked great.
It is on our list of things to do.
Seriously, I really need this.
yup, I am an Alias user too and I totally agree! Hope to see an Alias translator some time soon.

Alias 2011 .iges translator has a bug relating to layers.
It also has a major bug that makes HUGE .iges files. If you are using any imported .iges data, then export as .iges, the file size will grow like 10 times. So, if you have a part that is made into a solid in another software, then reimported into alias, it pretty much becomes a huge pain.
