Hi,

I have a question for you:
  1. What is the difference among these three different STEP files, while importing them in the part file:
  • STEP203.......
  • STEP214.......
  • STEP242.......

Thanks a lot!
 
If memory serves, 203 is the standard for basic geometry, 214 allows you to add other attributes and some color info (and some PMI?), 242 allows faceted geometry and full PMI. For NX, 203 and 214 are part of the mach1 license, but 242 is an extra cost add-on.

Edit: this link may help

214 is "automotive" and includes a few attributes. ( Very few)
242 includes , if selected, all user attributes.
 
Thanks, Toost.......
