Re: Converting step files to inventor files

^Yeah, basically what he said. When you import them you'll notice they come in as one giant part though, and the colors will change to the default grey, so it'll be a little confusing if it's actually an assembly. We used the AM shifters and converted them from step's into .ipt's. The shifters had extra parts on them that we have to extrude off as well. so it was really handy once we saved it as .ipt's.
