I created and saved a part then exported it as a .step file as I've done multiple times. I printed the .stp and found that I needed to modify it a bit. When I opened the AD_PRT file "Imported STEP file" is in the design explorer under Features and I have no access to the original sketches to modify parameters... I've done this multiple times with no problems. I checked other AD_PRT files that had been exported to Step files and the original sketches are still there. Any idea what I did to cause this?? I don't want to repeat it...
Atom3D Part file opens with "Imported STEP file" in the features...

When you save a step file that has been opened in Alibre, a AD_PRT is created with the imported step file feature in the feature tree.
So, if you opened the step file, did a modification and then saved, could it be that the original file has been overwritten?

Thanks man! I'm glad to be helping in the YT videos and in this forum, which also got me up to speed when I first bought Alibre.
