    Re: STEP file

    sounds like you need to use the USC or if I was doing this I would use Translate or rotate to get the view i want in the top view of the workspace., then I think you extract would work.

    Re: STEP file

    when you do the hide are you point and click to select to hide or drawing a window around what you are hiding?. if you are using the window, then that will hide the extracted lines also.

    Re: STEP file

    go to Utilities, to Extract Edges, to single, then select your surface, click ok. now you need to hide your stp file and then your lines will show up. and then save as dxf, hope that works.
