Re: Inventor Question about Opening .stp files

Sorry for not getting to this thread.

I mean, it happens with every .stp file that I try to open. When I take the file for the standard 2010 KOP toughbox from AndyMark, it says it cannot insert the object, and then it opens up a blank display.

But then when I opened the 3.5" extension shaft for the toughbox, that still gave me the same error, but the shaft appeared directly after I hit "Cancel" on the error screen.

That's what I've been trying to do. I've just tried to simply open the file and that's the error I get. I haven't tried to directly import it into an assembly.
