Re: Simplify a Assembly into a part

The problem with importing step file assemblies as parts is Creo will simply "pile" all the different parts on top of each other (based on the coordinate system).  To fix this, set intf3d_in_as_part to yes in your config.pro file before attempting to import the file.  Now assemblies can be brought in as single parts but still maintain the proper spatial relationships between the different components. by Tom Uminn
