Hi, im new on this, im trying to open a stp file in mastercam x, but it shows a window with this message, "problem finding solids in step file". I dont have idea what this means, maybe is something related with the 3d model, the way it was saved or something like that. Any help will be apreciated. Thanks.

Z.D.

Initial guess is that you only have lines and arcs in the step file

It must have at least 1 solid ( solid block or solid shell ) or 1 surface
