Converting STP files to DWG or DXF
Converting STP files to DWG or DXF
(OP)
I did some searching in various user forms here but didn't see any posts that address my needs.
I'm looking for a program that will convert a STEP file to DWG or DXF. Autodesk used to have a program (I think it was "Inventor Fusion") that I used, but since I've upgraded my PC I can't find the original install files.
Does anyone have a good recommendation on software that will do this?. I've tried importing into my AutoCAD 2010 but no dice.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

Berkshire - I was hoping for something a little lower in cost since all we're doing with it is converting files.

If you want to go cheap, download the Alibre program , for 30 days you can do what you want, then if you do not pay , it will turn into a pumpkin.

I'm actually trying a OpenSource program called FreeCAD as it claims to be able to import and export from and to a number of different file types. So far I've found that it need a plug in Teigha File Converter to convert to a DWG.
My first try generated a flat drawing so I'll need to educate myself on using the program a bit.
