Hello,

I'm new to Solidworks and unfortunately I have issues with some basic things.

I'm using Solidworks 2016 x64 SP5.0

I'm not able to import a STEP file. My former used Inventor opens the file without any issues.

Is there some hidden buttome someone has to check before beiing able to import?

The error message says not so much:

SolidWorks Corporation - STEP Processor Error Log
______________________________________________________

STEP Post Processor
___________________

STEP File Name: C:\DATA\Temp\3777884700_swm_s11_asm.stp"

I attached the files.

Thank you in advamce for your support.

Thilo

No problem with 2019 SP3.

Attached STEP and Parasolid.

Like Frederick Law, I'm running SWX 2019 SP3.0 so we're not really comparing apples to apples.

I had no problem opening your .stp file.

Edit:

Of course when you import an assembly this way you just get a single dumb solid. No individual parts and no ability to edit anything.

No issue with 2017 sp5, I've attached and this one shouldn't give you future version warning if the others did.

..imports with 2016 sp5 without issue (although you should run diagnostics to repair the chamfer edge of the shcs).. here is the file and a screen shot of the import settings..
