STEP to DWG
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the STEP and DWG interoperability and exchange that can help you with the STEP to DWG 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
- Import and export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES and STEP files
- Convert Polyface Mesh to Solid in AutoCAD
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.
DWG File
DWG (AutoCAD Drawing) binary file format was developed by Autodesk company for AutoCAD, but it is also supported by the other software packages, such as ZWCAD, BricsCAD, and IntelliCAD. Therefore, DWG files are the standard now in the overall CAD industry. You can use our Automesher Application and Automapki Application with AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD to seamlessly convert DWG drawing entities into various file formats. This enables you to easily share your AutoCAD designs across different platforms and applications.
