STEP to ZWCAD
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the STEP and ZWCAD interoperability and exchange that can help you with the STEP to ZWCAD conversion.
- 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
- Export OBJ, STL, 3DM, SKP, PLY and other 3D files 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.
ZWCAD Drawing
ZWCAD is an affordable AutoCAD alternative (Computer Aided Design) software package developed and supported till now by ZWSOFT company from China. The latest ZWCAD release supports the most recent DWG file format delivered with the latest AutoCAD release. Our Automesher Application and Automapki Application ZWCAD plugins allow you to import and export from many external 3D file formats into ZWCAD drawing model space. The ObjectZRX customization technology from ZWSOFT allows you to integrate with the ZWCAD environment and translate from the external 3D file formats in the most efficient way.
