[An...] Posted September 24, 2025 Share Posted September 24, 2025 Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone has any ideas on the most cost-effective way to convert a STEP file to a SAT file? I don't have a Calypso license to import a STEP file. I have now downloaded FreeCAD, but I am unable to convert a STEP file to a SAT file here. Are there any other options? Many thanks in advance.

I think about the only way is through a CAD program to open it then save it as a SAT file.

[Br...] Posted September 29, 2025 Share Posted September 29, 2025 Is it just this one time you need to convert? Send your Aftermarket Rep or the Hotline the file. We can convert it for you and send it back. 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/24549-convert-a-step-file-to-a-sat-file/#findComment-139101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ch...] Posted September 30, 2025 Share Posted September 30, 2025 You may receive an error message if you also have Calypso installed on your computer. You'll need to adjust the environment variables. You need to place (.\Spatialx64\code\bin;.\HOOPS;) at the beginning.

[Ri...] Posted October 1, 2025 Share Posted October 1, 2025 Ah. I didn't open the Path variable and notice it at the end. Then I ran into the fun part of the variable string being too long. Hahaha.

I was not looking for that program to have conversions - i hoped i could make easily fixture setups to help colleagues build them once they are disassembled.

I'm looking for a good CAD converter so any input is appreciated.

[Vo...] Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Hallo Wojciech, dazu kann ich dir leider nichts sagen, ich arbeite nicht mit PMI. Laut Internetauskunft sollte das gehen. Einfachster Weg, Testlizenz anfordern und ausprobieren!
