STEP Import for AutoCAD is a STEP file import plug-in for AutoCAD. Thanks to this add-in you have the possibility to import geometric data from STEP files in AutoCAD

The STEP file format is widely used to exchange 3D data between different CAD systems. STEP files contain 3D geometry data of solid models. STEP Import for AutoCAD reads the 3D geometry data from STEP files and creates 3D curve objects corresponding to each edge in the solid model. These 3D curves are added to the current AutoCAD drawing, thereby yielding the wireframe geometry of the solid in the STEP file.

STEP Import for AutoCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the AutoCAD environment. There are simple instructions for this in the ReadMe file. Once loaded it adds new commands to AutoCAD's existing commands and a new submenu called "STEPImport" to the AutoCAD menu containing these newly added commands.

The 'STEPImport' menu consists of the following commands:
· STEPImport - Imports an STEP file
· STEPImportHelp - Displays the STEP Import for AutoCAD help file
· STEPImportRegister - Registers your copy of STEP Import for AutoCAD
· STEPImportAbout - Displays the STEP Import for AutoCAD About box

STEP Import for AutoCAD comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.
