Sep 22, 2011the AutoCAD help specifies this procedure to import STEP files..Click Insert tab - Import panel - Import. In the Import File dialog box, in the Files of type box, select (*.stp, *.step).Find and select the STEP file you want to import, or enter the name of the STEP file at File Name.But the import dialogue box does not show this option.

Nov 8, 2011Currently using the following hardware; HP Z800 Xeon X5677 with 24GBram and 3x147 SAS in raid configuration
Windows professional 64-bit
98% of our work consist of creating idw drawings of complete factory's plants, large 3d plant models.
Therefore we have many subcontractors and from them we receive 3D step/iges models (size approx. 240MB), we want to be able to import these in to our models. But for the moment we are unable to import these files into inventor (due to size probably), it takes very long (over 36 hours) to convert, and most of the times we get a error... or inventor hangs.
When we are able to convert these we have performance problems because of size of our models.
So my questions are;
- why does it take so long to open,
- how can we reduce these files.

Dec 20, 2011I got this part from a customer and when i try to say cut off one end of it (because it is a casting and i need to put a few machined features on it) it will not let me? I am using the datum planes to sketch on so it shows you the part sideways or longways. i tried both different planes. it seems if you try doing it looking into the part it lets you but not from these planes.
I have attached the step file.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Cannot Import DWG Files?
Dec 9, 2012I just downloaded AutoCad Architecture 2013 and I am having trouble importing DWG files. When I select the file nothing happens. I had AutoCad 2012 for Mac and it worked fine. I switched to 2013 for PC via Parallels on my iMac because I was told that the PC version was better than Mac.

Aug 22, 2012I thought I'd share a little discovery we made here yesterday. Before we upgraded to Inventor 2013, there was a lot of fuss and hesitation due to 2013 not having the AMDT import wizard functionality. This lack of functionality was also confirmed by our VAR.
I can confirm that Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013 DOES have the usual Mechanical Desktop import wizard.
I can also confirm that it still doesn't bring in extruded text :-)
I've attached a collection of screenshots as proof.

AutoCAD .NET :: Undo Transactions Step-by-step Within Command Method
Sep 26, 2013I have a Command Method which has a loop that opens and commits transactions until the user is finished with it and exits.
I would like each transaction to be undone separately but the undo command undoes the CommandMethod (along with all the transactions that occurred while in the loop)
Do I need to use the COM StartUndoMark and EndUndoMark to get this working?

3ds Max :: STEP Import / Huge File?
Mar 31, 2013I have a STEP file which was made with SolidWorks that I need to get into Max.
The file contains a fair amount of duplicate objects, like 10 highly detailed motors that are used, etc. When I imported the file into Max, I begin experiencing momentary periods of time where max become unusable. I believe this is happening during my auto-saves. So I checked my Max file, it's over 250 MB.
I know the problem is all the duplicated geometry, so how can I tell max, "these two things are the same." Without going through the painstaking task of actually recreating instanced geometry?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Step Or STP Files
Apr 29, 2012I am trying to insert some valves into my drawing and they have been provided in *.stp or step format by the manufacturer. You can import them to civil 3d using IMPORT, but in Civil 3d the import dialogue does not have step files as an option under the file type drop down.
I am running Civil 3d 2012, and I am unable to install any software for a conversion due to our software restriction policies.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Exporting To Step Files?
Nov 5, 2013I can use the program and quite happily create components, sub assemblys, and master assemblys.Our company still doesn't have ANY 3D FILES. I have been tasked with eventually creating a full range of end product drawings as Step files. They are wanting BIMS. I see this a step to far atm.....
With the products that manufacture inhouse (industrial / comercial boilers) I have produced each individual component within the boiler to eventually aid to manufacture and bombs to intergrate with SAP.
With doing this every boiler I have done in inventor all the components are there and easily accessable. Am I right in thinking it needs to be exported as a step file to lock everything within the master assembly.
When I have exported it to a step file, when it comes to importing it into an assembly file the components are still accessable when expanded in the menu at the side. Is this because im opening it on my computer or have I done something wrong.....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rename Imported STEP Files
Dec 6, 2011I'm currently creating a procedure to manage a standard part library.
For that, I'm trying to import downloaded STEP files from suppliers online libraries, and some of these STEP files contain assemblies.
I can open them as wanted in Inventor (1 .IAM and .IPT files), problem is I can't edit .IPT names. I can only rename them in Windows, but I would like to rename in Inventor before saving for the first time.
I would like to have something like that, with "Assembly" the assembly name:
Assembly.IAM
Assembly_1.IPT
Assembly_2.IPT
Assembly_3.IPT
...
How can I do that without renaming in Windows?
I attached the STEP file I'm using, downloaded form McMaster.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Saving STEP Files From Internet As DWG
Jun 28, 2013I'm downloading .STEP files from the internet, opening them in inventor, then saving them as .dwg files that I can use in my 3D autocad drawings. I am using AutoCAD 2012 and I am running into some issues when I try to insert the objects.
So, I open up a new AutoCAD 2012 drawing and begin inserting. I can insert the first object just fine, any of downloaded files. It's the second part that is the issue. I will get one of two issues when trying to insert this second object. When inserting, it will either show the previous part that I inserted or not show anything at all.
I don't know if it's a bug, an issue with my set-up, or if I'm doing something funky when converting the .STEP files.
