BricsCAD to STEP
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to BricsCAD and STEP interoperability and exchange that could help you with the BricsCAD to STEP conversion.
- Export OBJ, STL, 3DM, SKP, PLY and other 3D files in AutoCAD
- Import STEP, STL, OBJ, 3DM, SKP and other 3D files in AutoCAD
BricsCAD Drawing
BricsCAD is yet another alternative CAD (Computer Aided Design) software program developed and enhanced on an annual basis by Bricsys company. It always supports the most recent DWG file format introduced with the most recent AutoCAD release. Our Automesher Application and Automapki Application add-ons allow importing and exporting from many external file formats directly into BricsCAD drawing model space. The ObjectBRX advanced customization technology from Bricsys allows us to integrate with the BricsCAD environment and translate from the external 3D file formats in the most optimal way.
STEP File
STEP (STandardized Exchange of Product) is a very popular file format for the data 3D exchange between different computer systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the STEP geometry data are stored in a text form you can expect bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using the Autoconverter software. However, if your geometry defines manifold solid it will try to create optimized faceted STEP brep representation which should reduce STEP file size by one-third. The STEP file format supports colors per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the final STEP file.
