Import STEP or IGES Options dialog box

Specifies the import criteria for imported STEP or IGES files. Specifies the data types to import and how data are grouped in Autodesk Inventor LT. A translation report is generated that includes information on the imported data and its quality, as well as a list of the parts that were created in Autodesk Inventor LT.

Access:

In the Open, Import dialog boxes: Set the Files of type to IGES or STEP. Note: You cannot import STEP files using the Import dialog box. Select or browse to the IGES or STEP file. Click Options. Note: If you choose to translate a file using the Import command, some import options are not available.

Translation Report	Embed in Document. Select to display the translation report icon , under the 3rd Party browser node , in your new file. To view the translation report, double-click the report icon, or right-click and select Edit.   Save to Disk. Select to save a copy of the report to the Component Destination Folder.
Entity Types to Import	Solids. Select to import solid bodies and water tight stitched shells as individual solid bodies.   Surfaces. Select to import surface bodies. Water tight stitched shells are imported as solid bodies.   Wires. Select to import wires.   Points. Select to import points.
Data Organization	Import into Repair environment. Select to check the model for errors and create a repair node in the browser. You can edit, diagnose, and repair an imported base body in the Repair environment. A repair body participates in the model history. Import Assembly as Single Part. Select to import the assembly as a single part. Choose from: Single Composite Feature to import the assembly as a single composite feature in the part environment. Multiple Solid Part to import the assembly as individual solid bodies in the part environment.
Units	Import Units. Converts the imported geometry and parameter values to the selected units.
Post Processes	Check Parts during Load. Select to perform a quality check of the imported data. If a bad data is found, the composite is marked with in the browser and the remaining bodies are not checked. Note: This option may significantly increase the amount of time required to translate a file.     Enable Advanced Healing. If selected, slight alterations in the surface geometry are allowed to stitch the surfaces.

Note: By default, Autodesk Inventor LT applies the part name (file name of the inserted part) to browser file nodes. Other CAD systems might apply the part number property. When a STEP file is imported into Autodesk Inventor LT, its name might differ from the name of the CAD system which generated the STEP file. To avoid confusion, use the Rename Browser Nodes command to specify the browser node naming scheme.
