STEP File Creation in Pro|E not Readable in SolidWorks

[NEALROSENBLUM]

All,

I have created some STEP files for a customer. My customer is having various types of machining and prototypes fabricated, and some of their vendors want STEP files. These vendors have SolidWorks. I have provided STEP files and I am being told that these vendors are having trouble viewing the STEP files in SolidWorks. I do not know any of the details about the problems that they are having.

Are there any config.pro options that would make these files "more readable" from SolidWorks.

Sincerely,

I have run into this also and the problem may be in the header info in
the STEP file. See the example header info shown below:



ISO-10303-21;

HEADER;

FILE_DESCRIPTION(('STEP AP214'),'1');
