Re: Import/Export in Solidworks

I typically import files into Solidworks formatted as IGES (*.igs) and Solidworks is able to discern the individual features and operations used to make the part. STEP formatted files do not do this and instead are made up of three quarters of a bajillion surfaces. This uses more resources and is a pain to work with, in my mind.

Do those of you that typically use STEP formatted files experience that same behavior?
