Stepfile to Prt

[sramanujam]

Hello,

I have a connector which is a Stp file and I need to use this in my assembly.

I have imported the Stp file and placed as per my Standard cordinates of my assembly .I am unable to pack(Schrumpfverpackung in deutsch) this Step file .

Is there any which way I can convert this step file to a prt file ?

when you bring in a step file, it is converted to a part file.

The part file may just be a closed volume solid but still a part file.

Why the file will not shrink wrap (Schrumpfverpackung = shrink package auf deutch,  but in PTC terms, I believe this is shrink wrap) I don't know.

I would guess that you have holes in your closed volume solid.

I usually do not have issues with these as my converted step files are contained within a larger assembly.

At this point, I will yield to others that may have more experience in this matter

Hi,

I guess you want to create shrinkwrap and the connector is surface model. You have to repair it to get solid model.
