STEP 2D Import for AutoCAD

STEP 2D Import for AutoCAD is a STEP file import plug-in for AutoCAD. This plug-in gives AutoCAD the ability to import geometric data from STEP files.

The STEP file format is widely used to exchange 3D data between different CAD systems. STEP files contain 3D geometry data of solid models. STEP 2D Import for AutoCAD reads the 3D geometry data from STEP files and creates 3D curve objects corresponding to each edge in the solid model. These 3D curves are added to the current AutoCAD drawing, thereby yielding the wireframe geometry of the solid in the STEP file.

STEP 2D Import for AutoCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the AutoCAD environment. There are simple instructions for this in the ReadMe file. Once loaded it adds new commands to AutoCAD's existing commands and a new submenu called "STEP2DImport" to the AutoCAD menu containing these newly added commands.
