STEP to ZWCAD Conversion
Here's how our custom importer makes STEP to ZWCAD conversion painless in 3 easy steps:
Download Automesher Application
Import STEP files directly into ZWCAD drawings with Automesher Application - simply install the add-on and restart your CAD software.
Import STEP File
Execute the AmImportMesh command or click the Import Mesh button to open your STEP file (.stp, .step).
Choose ZWCAD Entity Type
Select your target ZWCAD entity - Polyface Mesh, 3D Solid, Subdivision Mesh, 3D Face, or Surface - and press Enter to complete the STEP file import into ZWCAD.

STandardized Exchange of Product File
A widely adopted file format for the exchange of 3D data across diverse computer systems, including CAD, CAM, and CAE applications. Designed to ensure seamless interoperability, STEP files provide a reliable and standardized method for sharing complex 3D models.
Key Features of STEP/STP
- Universal Interoperability: As an ISO-standardized format, STEP files eliminate vendor lock-in, allowing smooth data exchange between major CAD software like SolidWorks, NX, Creo, CATIA, and more.
- Broad Compatibility: Supported by numerous applications and platforms, STEP files simplify cross-industry collaboration and ensure consistency across different workflows.
- High Accuracy: Unlike mesh formats such as SKP, OBJ, or STL, which may introduce distortions, STEP files maintain the precise shape, dimensions, and integrity of 3D models.
- Materials: STEP/STP files retain color information per assembly, making them useful for design visualization. However, they do not support transparency (alpha component), meaning transparent materials will appear opaque.
STEP/STP File Conversion
STEP files can become quite large, particularly when they contain intricate or high-resolution 3D models. To reduce file size, our Autoconverter software offers an efficient solution by utilizing the faceted BREP representation, which can reduce file size by up to one-third. Leveraging the powerful Open Cascade framework, Autoconverter ensures full compatibility with the latest STEP standards, making it the ideal tool for optimizing STEP files without compromising quality.
