Can anybody convert this .stp file to a .dwg file?

[dycadd]

I'm trying to figure out how to convert this 3d .stp file into a .dwg file so I can put it into my autocad drawing. I don't have any software that will open it but I've read all over that it can be done if you have the right program.

Can anybody help me?

my e-mail is doug@dycadd.com

File Open
File Save As

Oh ouch, 260 Megs. Can anybody out there with the software do the conversion for me? I'm downloading it now but it will take me hours on this connection =(

[JDMather]

You never stated what version of AutoCAD.
If not 2010 you will also need to download DWG True View or whatever it is called.

Oh dang, I'm only on 2009. I will download the converter program. Thanks a lot JDMather, greatly appreciated =D

if you have AutoCAD Mechanical installed which came with Inventor, you
could type "stepin" (even in just AutoCAD) to bring it into a dwg.

I was sent a STEP file created in inventor and need it converted to a 3d dwg file... any suggestions? i'm running 2009, but can install 2010 if needed... thanks

>any suggestions

Applications>AEC Exchange>Save as DWG Solids in Inventor 2009. (assuming the STEP file was opened with the correct Options and passes Inventor Quality Check)

[BMiller63]

you can do this with Inventor 2009:
Open the step file in Inventor
Then go to AEC Exchange (Applications > AEC Exchange, I think. can't recall for certain in 2009)
use "Save As DWG Solids"
Specify the DWG version in the Save as type drop-down.
Specify the location in the Save in drop-down and the file name in the File name field.
Click Save to create the file

note that this creates a 3d solid in acad that is "wrapped" in a block (at least for assemblies). so you might want to explode it once to remove the block and have just solids, ready for editing, etc.

Could you convert the attached files as well.

Fusion 360 is free to most users.

You could also download a trial of Inventor (or Fusion).
