I searched the topic and didn't find anyone who was having the same problem.
I just imported a massive STEP file. The .stp itself was 250MB and it took about half an hour to load...
But that's not my problem. Once all the parts assemblies had been created, I got a dialog box that told me it was suppressing all of the assemblies. There were probably a hundred of them and I had to go through the design tree and unsuppress all of them.
I checked the import settings and there doesn't appear to be an option related to this.
Is this something I can prevent?
I am just in the process of opening a STEP file (18,580 Kb) myself, with the same issue (SW 2013 SP0)..........what's the deal with this?
Add to that the 46 faces and 3911 gaps that need to be healed..............
Oh, and this file I had to send to my vendor as a Step file because they are on an older version of SW, has it ever been mentioned that it would be a good idea if SW OLDER could open SW NEWER??????......has it....would of been fine if 2012 SP05 was out BEFORE SW2013
