Showing dimensions in SW from Inventor STEP file??

Showing dimensions in SW from Inventor STEP file??

Showing dimensions in SW from Inventor STEP file??

(OP)
How do I do it? Can I get the dimensions off of a STEP file created in Inventor 9 in SOLIDWORKS 2003??

RE: Showing dimensions in SW from Inventor STEP file??

You can redimension the part in SW, but cannot extract dimensional information from the part.  The conversion from native Inventor file format to STEP strips out this information.
