Import step files

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can AutoCAD for mac import STEP files? The help implies we can but gives only windows instructions...

Thanks

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Online help is wrong about step import in AC for Mac: there is no such feature. You can only import SAT and DXF (DXB) files.

I see, almost as I expected. Thanks, Pedro

It seems, then, that finding a way to convert .stp into SAT is the only way to do this iwith CAD for Mac?  I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm using Rhino for Mac to convert STP to DWG. If you need to convert few files in a short period - 90-day trial of Rhino for Mac available:

Maxim,
Do you have any experience using the .stp to .dwg conversion, via Rhino, for AutoCAD 2013 on Mac?

Thanks,

Hi miko92,

Yse, I have. There is nothing difficult in the process, just open STP file in Rhino and save it as DWG or DXF.
