Opening step files in solid edge

Related Projects. Hi all, Can anybody help me with the following: when I open a stp-file with the assembly template, it seems the conversion is going allright, however I don't see anything in my 3d-model! Are there any 'safe'-options on opening a step-file?

It may be that its coming in as surfaces and you need to set it to show surfaces. Are you getting parts listed in your edge bar? As Kenat said, if the model come up only in surfaces it may be because you don't have the options checked to create the base features of each model or SE can't create any base feature because there are some problems with the 3d model.

When opening a step-file with the part-template I get the following warning: You are attempting to import a step-file which contains assemblies into a part document. If I continue I get the folowing message: multiple bodies found during the file open process. I then see the model with part copies. When I open the same file with the asm-template I see nothing. There's no model and there's nothing showing in the assembly pathfinder tab. The log-file states there are solid bodies created.

Can anybody help? Hi, the asm seems to consist of construction bodies only. The EdgeBar should show at least one item. HTH dy.

This may or may not be desirable in this case. Inventor format appears to be working, but translation is taking a long time - so I will probably kill it before completed since the IGES format worked.

I could have set certain Options in SWx for faster translation, but I left on default. He has the version and doesn't keep it up to date.
