The following settings are recommended up to I-DEAS 12 NX Series and CoCreate Modeling 16.5.

OneSpace Designer - STEP Postprocessor

• The properties for STEP import can be found in the file -> open -> options dialog
• Set the accuracy to automatic (default) to use the accuracy of the STEP file.
• If the accuracy is customized, make sure that the accuracy setting is the same or less than the accuracies setting used to generate the part being loaded.
• When associated messages are returned during the import of the STEP file the accuracy should be adjusted.
• If a product with multiple bodies is imported, Solid Designer creates an assembly.
• Blended edges are not recognized as such, and it is not possible to modify blends using standard OneSpace Designer.
• The import log file "step_load_log" gives further information.

OneSpace Designer – System

• Shaded view is helpful and gives a first impression of the model quality.
• To ensure the model quality is OK a complete model check should be performed.
