Importing STP file, imports wrong one

[luis_m_a_perdigao]

Hi,

I am trying to import swagelok STP files to my project but I am having a really strange issue.

I have imported some models, but now I am trying to import a 3D model of an adaptor, and rather than importing the right drawing, it shows a previous imported model of a valve.

I checked if it is the correct model by using a online STP viewer, and it is all ok. Just autocad imports the wrong one.

The filenames have some similarities but overall still different. Is there some bug related to the way autocad prefetch or caches these imported models? Can we clear that cache?

Thank you

Regards

I figured it out, but this is still weird. It should be fixed.

The STP files are ok and display the model correctly in separate drawings

However, the imported STP files had the same property "Misc.Name".

The solution is to import one, and then type "Rename" and return. Choose the part name, in my case was something like "PRODUCT_ID_0" and change it to something more unique.

When importing the other one, it should display ok, but to avoid further problems it is recommended that its name is also changed in the same way.
