I have .step file that i want to import. 

I located the file correctly in the zemax folder, but whenever i try to import it in my project; it doesnot appear..

Any clues for this??

The STEP file needs to be under \Objects\CAD Files.

You may need to refresh your list to be able to see it:

Hi Noura,

 

You may need to give us more information to help you solve your problem. There can be a number of things that can cause the issue.

  1. You say it doesn’t appear, are you refering to the 3D Layout? Do you get an error message upon importing the CAD file?
  2. Did you manage to import other *.STEP files before? Can you share this file with us so we can try?

I strongly suggest to have a look at this article also.

Take care,

 

David
