STEP file not openining

[Dave Machock]

In 2014 I was able to open the files from this site https://www.azcocorp.com/index.php/
They seem to have changed filrs, as file names are different. I can no longer open their step files.
I get the "did not open due to error"
I can't attach a step file, but would like to know if anyone has any luck opening one. The file I need is the GO-80 model

Did you try different import settings? That can sometimes cause issues, if you have too many options checked.

If you have Moi then import there and run the naked edges script. 99% sure that is the root of your problems.

Tried a ton of different settings. Don't Have Moi

Yeah... that sucks...

I have this occasionally. Its usually due to really bad quality files (completely missing faces for example). See if you can zip it and upload to dropbox that way we can have a look...

Been so long I forgot I even had Dropbox.

Issue verified. Simple fix until Alibre hopefully improves imports - open the file in FreeCAD, export as STEP ; then it opens in Alibre.

I tried that, the FreeCad file still wouldn't open. Hmm.

Import your STEP file with FreeCAD, no problem

In FreeCAD
Export -> STEP
Save

Now you can open / import the the STEP file with AD V2018.0.1

Works with Moi too:



Then export as step and import into AD:

I can open it in FreeCad and export it as a step, but Alibre won't open the step I exported.
It starts too, the blue progress scale in the lower left get to about 25% then everything stops. Progress scale goes away and nothing happens.

Here you can download the AD V2018.0.1 Package file:

Dave - have you updated to build 19033 ?

You can also use CAD Assistant to open and save that STEP... or convert to other format, like IGES.
I've used it few times to "repair" STEP for Alibre to open.
It's totally free software:

Thanks, I tried that just to see if that approach would work, it did.
