Cannot Export STEP file

[Anonymous]

Hello, I cannot export an autoCad .dwg file into a step file. I tried with the STEPOUT command on the command window.

Is this even possible with an educational version of AutoCad?

Thanks for your answers, Ingmari

Does the stepout command work at all or does it give; command unknown?

It says "Unknown command", so my guess it the command is missing in the educational version.

It should be also in the educational version.
Are you working with AutoCAD or with AutoCAD Mechanical?
It is only available in Mechanical.
Look in options under profile, if Vanilla is active you are on plain AutoCAD.

Yes, this was the problem. Thanks for pointing it out!

Hello I have a drawing that use to be a a STEP file, it was "BURST" into individual 3d parts is there a command to re-combine the parts so I can perform  "STEPOUT"  I tried "SURFSCULPT" I am working in Mechanical Cad.

Thanks.

I am using Mechanical 2021 and not in Vanilla profile and STEPOUT still reports unknown command

Can you please explain in details how to fix STEPOUT "unknown command". In 2021 its not working for me even if ACADMPP is selected in profiles. Thanks

Found solution for my issue. After resetting the ACADM to defaults, export to STEP is working now. Probably has something to do with profile import from previous version, or maybe I've imported vanilla ACAD profile into mechanical which is potentially screw up CUI paths...

Doing this solved a lot of issues for me.

Fixed the problem.

Thanks
