STEP file format in ACAD 3D
STEP file format in ACAD 3D
(OP)
Someone I'm helping out got a stack of 3D parts from a supplier in "STEP" file format. The person who sent them (a sales rep) was told that this is what he was supposed to send us, yes, even after double checking. Since ACAD uses ACIS or "SAT" files, I'm at a loss.
Suggestions ? I need to try and use these parts.
Thanks !

As a short term fix to overcome your problem look at getting Rhino, it is free for about 40 saves and you can import .step files and export in most formats.

I wasn't aware RHINO would do this. I'll check into that as an avenue. Thanks !
