[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to export STEP file in AutoCAD 2020 (including specialised toolsets). May i know the method to output my autocad file to STEP file?

check this if helps. thanks

1. At the Command prompt, enter STEPOUT.
2. In the STEPOUT Translation dialog box, in the Files of type box, select *.ste,*.stp, or *.step.
3. In the File Name box, specify the name of the STEP file.
4. Click Save.

You need to start the Mechanical Toolset (AutoCAD Mechanical).

Hi,

Yes, you are right. I followed Alfred's suggestion by opening the autocad mechanical 2020 (not autocad 2020) and .... I got it!

Thank you for your patient in sharing with me. ^O^
