I am trying to to import a 105Mb step file . It runs already
morethan 16hours , on my SW-64Bit machine and reached
already11Gb memory usage.I don`t have any any results yet.
Is there a file size limit to translating step files?Whichtranslating setup should i use in SW?
What is the best (cheapest) way to translate files from CatiaV5 ?

Have you tried this in SW2008?
Some possible workarounds:
Can you have the owner of the data break the assembly into smaller subassembly file sets? (This is of course assuming it is an assembly)
Open the file in another CAD system if you have one and see what happens. (It could be a corrupt file.)
From my experience, STEP is the best file format to start with when importing CATIA V5 data. There are services out there that can convert CATIA data to SolidWorks but you have to pay $$$.
