I recently sent a step file to a local machines shop and when the shop received the file it was missing an important dimension. Has this occurred to any body else. How can I make sure this doesn't happen again?

Micicah, on occasion, I'll export a model as a step file and it will have a face/ vertex error-usually owing to the way the SW model was constructed. It's a good practice to re-imort your step file and run import diagnostics on it to make sure the geometry is useable before sending it out to the machine shop.

I was not aware that you could save dimensions in a STEP file.
