No error message, just Solidworks stops responding after a while. The step error log just says that each part was successfully imported, ending with the line "STEP-in completed."
Whenever I get around to booting Windows next I'll try upping the priority on the process. Have others had success importing this particular step file?
I suggest that you don't discuss...sensitive issues about your team on this public forum. - Andy Baker [more]
