[Cl...] Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Just thought I'd share something strange that happened this morning. I loaded a CAD model into Calypso. Normally I would change it from .step to stp, this time I accidently opened it before changing it, and it translated and opened just fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Clark, It should work fine. Does yours not list .step/.stp as an option to import? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 For some reason I have always had a problem using the .step ext, so I always made it a point to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That's interesting. I've heard some people that have had issues with STEP files, so they used IGES files instead. Which is opposite of my personal experience. I guess a lot probably has to do with the original software package and how they exported it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Some of the older versions would not open .step. That was changed in one of the recent upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
