Re: Problems with converting .step assemblies
 

I am having similar issues. But it's only when I try opening the step file. It doesn't appear, it goes through the normal converting/loading stuff, then just shows the axis, but the assembly never shows up. Though it doesn't happen for all assemblies or all parts. Main problem has been the Ball Shifter from Vex

Re: Problems with converting .step assemblies
 

Could you link the specific STEP file(s)?

I suspect you have a somewhat different problem, since yours only crops up with a particular file. Initial guess is a broken STEP file. It may be a good idea to move this to a different thread, so as to not mask the OP's problem.

The Ball Shifter. it's not the Step file because I go it to work in an older version of Solidworks. It;s the New version of solidworks I believe.

I don't need a new thread cause i just wanted to tell you I'm having a similar issue.

Re: Problems with converting .step assemblies
 

Same issue here, but it only happens with newer generated STEP files. I can open older ones just fine, but some new ones will load, and just disappear.

Re: Problems with converting .step assemblies
 

There is more and more evidence pointing to to either a bug in the SolidWorks converter or a settings issue.

For some reason, I can't replicate any of the problems on my machine (SW 2012 x64 EDU on Win7 x64 for Intel i7). Can someone attach the problematic step file, with the exact instructions (for each mouse click) as to how they got the problem?

Re: Problems with converting .step assemblies
 

If we are going to diagnose the problem, someone needs to do this. No one has the time to sit around trying to break SW, so someone who's already broken SW tell us how you broke SW so we can tell you how to unbreak it.

Do this as in
