.step conversion

Hello CD.

So recently I downloaded all the .step files for the VEXpro products. I was just wondering, what is the best practice (in your expert opinion) for using these files? What do you guys in the real world do?

I've currently converted all of them to .sldprt and .assm formats. So my real question is, should I just use them as is (the parts have single-body "Imported 1" feature) or should I run them through feature recognition?

And if I should run them through feature recognition, is there any faster way to do this other than writing code to automate the procedure, or doing them one-by-one? The Task Scheduler does not seem to have an option for feature recognition...

Thanks,
Daniel D.
