How to open Step file txt. in Inventor
I'm fairly new to Inventor and was wondering how I would approach to open this step file. I tried changing the .txt file into .stp, when opened it says failed to open document.

Re: How to open Step file txt. in Inventor
I'm just planning to make some limit switch mounts for these actuators. I have posted the .txt file below. It wasn't able to open in Inventor when changed to .stp . I am not able to attach the file onto this forum as it exceeds the limit (2MB-3MB).
Here is a link to download the text: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_k...ew?usp=sharing Thanks for the Help. |

Re: How to open Step file txt. in Inventor
Robert,
Here is a link to the actuator assembly file in Dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vs45ld4o9w...uator.zip?dl=0 Here is the workflow I used. 1. Open the TXT file in Notepad. 2. Click File > Save As. 3. In the Save As dialog box, select All Files from the Save as type: list. The default is Text documents. 4. Enter the File name with a STP file extension. In this example, Dart Linear Actuator.stp. 5. Click Save. 6. Start Autodesk Inventor and open the STP file. This will take a few minutes. 7. Save the assembly. The files are saved in a folder named Imported Components. Let me know if you have any issues or more questions. |
