The AutoCAD Mechanical toolset Step translator supports both, the import and export of STEP files.
Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) is an ISO standard for computer interpretable product manufacturing data representation (CAD data as well as meta data) and exchange. STEP is often used for exchanging 3D model data between dissimilar CAD systems. The STEPIN command supports STEP versions AP214 and AP203E2.
The following data types are translated:
- Assemblies
- Parts
- Surfaces
- Solids
- Wire Geometry (2D & 3D)
The AutoCAD IMPORT command also supports the STEP file format. However, AutoCAD does not support export to STEP.
