![]() You can also edit and create artboards using the Artboard panel. To view the panel, just go to Window > Artboards. In Part 1: The Battle of Two Import Engines – Quality and Speed we concluded that SOLIDWORKS users should evaluate both import engines, traditional and 3D Interconnect, when a STEP file is received from a new vendor. Typically, one engine will provide better geometry or a faster import experience than the other (see Table 1). Try both engines and determine which one works better for that specific STEP file. Most users will use the traditional engine by default. ![]() In the 10 percent of cases where they are not satisfied with the end-result, the 3D Interconnect engine can be used, and most of the time users will notice an improvement. For that small group of users with their specific type of STEP files, the 3D Interconnect works best.Ī STEP file you receive from a vendor will work better with one engine than the other, depending on how that STEP file was created. For example, what was the original CAD software and what export settings were used? Usually a vendor will maintain a particular procedure for creating STEP files. Therefore, the settings for importing one STEP file from that vendor would most likely work for every STEP file from that vendor. The amount of time SOLIDWORKS users spend working with STEP files varies based on how tightly they are integrated in a supply chain with multiple CAD solutions. Lucky users simply download a STEP file once, covert it to SOLIDWORKS, save it in the library and use it as-is for a long period at time.
