IDA-STEP import components

With the default IDA-STEP Viewer Basic component, IDA-STEP v4 is able to open international standard STEP files, which typical have the extensions ".stp" or ".step" as well as native IDA-STEP v4 files with the extension ".xim".

However, sometimes the data is received in other format, for example a native CAD system format. In this case IDA-STEP v4 can be extended with import components, which provide specific data format import capabilities.

Each import component is usually designed to import data from one specific CAD tool file format, therefore the components are named according to the corresponding CAD tool or file format.

Currently the following IDA-STEP v4 import components are available. Visit their pages for detailed information about each import component:
