Jan 10, 2006 #2 DesignerMike Mechanical Jan 20, 2003 274 Inventor is pretty bad at opening step and iges files. The file may be a newer version than IV can handle. First option is to try to import them into mech desktop. The step translator in MDT seems much more robust. I have had minimal success with step, and prefer .sat There are also some translators out there that you can download a 30 day trial version (which will get you through this time). Upvote 0 Downvote
