Importing STEP files
Importing STEP files
(OP)
I tried to import a couple of STEP files into SW2001+ and I get this message:
Can't open the error log file
After this message, SW proceeds to parse and create the model. Finally, I get this message:
"Importing large assembly. Components will be imported and suppressed. Use Unsuppress to show desired parts and sub-assemblies".
I click OK and I don't see anything on the screen. It's a blank assembly. And there is no features/parts in the FeatureManager that I can unsuppress.
What could be going on?
Thanks to all the readers.

RE: Importing STEP files
Also, how did they export the the STEP? AP203 or AP214? You might have them export the model as a AP203 if they used AP214. It seems the industry std for a STEP translator is AP204. I beleive AP214 is mostly used in the automotive industry.
I hope this helps,
