I need a pointer to a good free STEP (sp?) file viewer for looking at PRO/E models and picking off vector distances.  Thanks,

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

RE: PRO/E viewer

The edrawing viewer(s) that were recommended do not accomplish what I asked for in the initial post.  It does not recognize .prt, .asm. and/or .stp files.  

I wanted a pointer to free software that would allow me view Pro-E files and pick-off vector (length, direction) data.

RE: PRO/E viewer

If you make a Pro/E part (or assembly) from the STEP file you can certainly view it from ProductView Express or edrawings. You asked for a viewer for Pro/E files. STEP is a neutral format.

No, I asked for a STEP file viewer with dimensional interogation capability.  

I finally found exactly what I need.  It is called MYRIAD.
It has a fully functional 15 day free trial download.
It makes edrawing look sick.  It has .jpg, .ppt, etc. output.  It does recognize the .stp format.  One can access it at:

 www.myriadviewer.com.

 I think the MSRP is $595.  I would highly recommend it as a means of obtaining useful information from PRO/E/and or SolidWork design models without having to lease a PRO/E seat.  It handles 150 file formats.  It is very user friendly for 3D Cad challenged folks like myself.

Thanks anyway.

RE: PRO/E viewer

CCW,
I have found one which is free, not a trial. It is based on Granite. It can open 3d native proe and iges and step amongst others.
