agilroy Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 It does not look like autocad 2014 for Mac allows to import anything besides ACIS. I've got 2 public STEP files to import but can't seem to figure out how to convert to DWG or ACIS, there is no good free tools out there. Also Inventor is only available for windows... Could someone with all the proper tooling (e.g. autocad for windows or inventor) be so kind to convert the 2 STP into ACIS or DWG for me? thanks much Quote
agilroy Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Tried to upload a file but it seems to fail... file size is 7.5MB. Quote
Dana W Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Tried to upload a file but it seems to fail... file size is 7.5MB.To upload a file you have to click the Go Advanced button first. Then you click on the paperclip icon for attach file. Then click the Add Files button, then Choose File, then Upload, and then Done. All of that is to no avail however. STP is not one of the file types that the forum upload manager will accept. You can try to zip compress it, and upload the zip file, but the zip file size limit is 1/2 meg, or 500 kb. I doubt if 7+ meg will compress that far. You can see the file size and type limits by clicking the blue ? help icon on the attachment manager dialog window. Quote
agilroy Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Thanks for the details! Yes the files were already compressed at 8MB and 15MB... still did not work. Here are compressed files posted online: https://s3.amazonaws.com/edgytech/Electric+Go+Kart.STEP.gz https://s3.amazonaws.com/edgytech/Kart+Assemblato.stp.gz Let me know if you are able to convert them, thanks again!

dedmin Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Saved in 2010 DWG. But cannot upload them here - too big. Quote
agilroy Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 dedmin that is awesome. Is there any way you could post it somewhere like dropbox or anything http/ftp? Otherwise let me try to find a way for you to upload. Are the files larger than 25MB compressed? If under we may be able to do email. Thanks! Quote
dedmin Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Here we go. https://mega.co.nz/#!JNFmhS5Z!gnT8g4H1M6SNfACTQmruM4ahjh2yQAsXHoqbB4tPQck Quote
