import step with start parts- Error solved

[A.DelNegro]

Bob hit it right on the head. The STEP files prefer a relative
accuracy. Unfortunately, the CFD software wants an absolute accuracy,
which is why my start parts are set to absolute. Luckily, it's not too
difficult to change the accuracy after the parts import correctly, so
I'll have to do it that way.



Thanx Bob.

Tony

No problem Tony,
But, to be clear, it is not that the parts prefer a relative accuracy or
an absolute one, but rather an accuracy value that suits the translation.
Absolute or relative is fine, but a value that is too high or too low and
it won't read in correctly.

Again, Bob is correct. When I set the absolute accuracy to the same
value as the relative value, it seemed to come in ok.



Thanx again Bob.
