Hi All,
I am trying to open a .step file I received from a vendor in SW2012 SP3.0. I am using the deafult import options. SW can open the file without returning any error messages, but the result is a blank assembly with no features, parts, or mates. I have attached a screen shot of the resulting file, as well as the file itself. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ted
works ok for me
do you have part/assembly templates specified in your options?
Hi Kenneth,
AHA! This was my problem. In teh SolidWorks system options, I had default templates for Parts and Assemblies specified. When I changed this to "prompt user to select template", and then tried to open the STEP file, it worked! I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the default templates, as that is what I selected when prompted anyway, but oh well. Thanks!
Ted
