.Step file

[[Cl...]]

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?

Clark,

It should work fine. Does yours not list .step/.stp as an option to import?

[[Cl...]]

For some reason I have always had a problem using the .step ext, so I always made it a point to change it.

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.

Some of the older versions would not open .step. That was changed in one of the recent upgrades.

[[Cl...]]

OK, that splains it.

Yep, when i upgradeed from 5.8 to 6.2 i believe, they fixed the STEP vs STP issue.
huge time saver!
