STEP Configurations

Unread post by Bryan O »

Does STEP support configurations?
I have a part with multiple size configurations. Do I have to "Save As" .STEP for each configuration?
OR might someone have a macro that would "Save As" .STEP all the configurations?

You need to save each config to STEP.

Correct. "Configuration" is not a STEP supported object. Mainly because that term means many different things across the CAD industry.
