Hello,

My CAD package is getting a bit old and clunky, it cannot import STEP files.
Can anyone recommend one of those translator programmes that can translate between formats like STL, IGES, STEP and maybe solidworks PRT models.
It would also be an advantage if it could do things like simplifying models and reducing file sizes as some suppliers send you enormous files of their parts with every single detail.

Thanks

Autodesk Inventor and Inventor Fusion can read and translate all these CAD formats.
