STEP Import for IntelliCAD

STEP Import for IntelliCAD is a STEP file import plug-in for IntelliCAD powered application. This plug-in gives IntelliCAD 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 Import for IntelliCAD 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 IntelliCAD drawing, thereby yielding the wireframe geometry of the solid in the STEP file.

STEP Import for IntelliCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the IntelliCAD environment. Follow the simple instructions in the Getting Started document which can be found in the installation folder. Once loaded it adds new commands to IntelliCAD's existing commands and a new submenu called "STEPImport" to the IntelliCAD menu containing these newly added commands.
