Rudy Daverveld Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi All, Can't seem to import any .step files anymore in 8.5, is this correct? Or is there a separate plug in for now? Please let me know. Just received some files from a distant client in that format! Kind regards Rudy Daverveld Visual 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi Rudy, STEP format is still available and should be included automatically. What OS are you using? And you have 8.5.0.2, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Daverveld Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ah maybe thats the case, I'm at home on an older osx 10.9.5 Form-Z 8.5.0.2 Is there a work around, or do I have to upgrade to the latest OSX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That should work fine. If you try a clean download from here: http://www.formz.com/update Does that help? Or if not, if you go to the Extensions Menu: Extensions Manager, is STEP listed there -- and if so, and it is unchecked (at the bottom of the list), does checking it and restarting enable it for you?

Rudy Daverveld Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Downloading now, Step is not in the extensions manager.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Daverveld Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ok that did the trick, I have the step importer again. Unfortunately the 8.5.0.2 version does not import most of the step models or at least partialy not. Found a 7.0 version which does the trick well on all the models though... Are you interested in seeing these models? I can't post them here because of confidentiality waver.. As said earlier, I have had similar experiences with other models, which import fine in older versions of Form Z but not so wel in the current version. Thanxs for the quick response!

Tech Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi Rudy, Great, glad that restored the STEP import for you in general, but sorry you are having trouble with these specific files. Yes, if you ever have an issue you can reproduce, please send the file and the "steps" (ie, try to import this STEP file) and we will look into this ASAP.
