Inventor Viewer-Opening an STP (STEP) File

zimbrich · ‎01-13-2013

I just installed Inventor Viewer 2013 in hopes of viewing an STP file. Our German parent company is starting to post most of our drawings in STP file format and I do not have a way of viewing these files. If I open the STP in a text editor, it indicates that it was made in Inventor 2012 in the header. But, when I try to open a file in Inventor Viewer 2013, there is no STP option available in the filter box.

Is this not going to work?

Is there another STP viewer available?

Try looking for a STEP file viewer. There are loads.

e.g. http://stpviewer.com/

Inventor View (as it's name suggests) is for viewing Inventor files.

Do you have Inventor Fusion, Inventor, or AutoCAD.

You can get the free Inventor Fusion here http://labs.autodesk.com/technologies/fusion/downloadform
