Importing Step Files

Importing Step Files

Importing Step Files

(OP)
Hi guys,

I'm trying to import large step files that were converted from CATIA.

1. Files are imported as single parts although they were assemblies at origin. I would like them to remain assemblies.

2. After successfully importing them I want to export them as igs or step again but they will not export and I get fatal errors in the xlo file.

I would really appreciate any ideas in this matter.

Thanks

RE: Importing Step Files

I don't have much experience with step files, but many of the comments that I have seen have indicated that importing them into Mech Desktop first is often a better way to go. Once in MDT you have other choices for saving, and MDT seems to "heal" them better.

Again, not much experience with step files.
