Convert STP to EASM

Understanding STP and EASM file formats

The STP file format, also known as STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data), is a widely used 3D CAD file format that allows for the exchange of data between different CAD systems. It is an ISO standard (ISO 10303) and is used for representing 3D objects in a way that is independent of any particular software application.

The EASM file format is a type of eDrawings file used primarily for sharing and viewing CAD data. EASM files are created using eDrawings Publisher, which allows users to view, print, and review CAD models without needing the original CAD software. This format is particularly useful for collaboration and communication in engineering and design projects.

How to convert STP to EASM

Converting an STP file to an EASM file involves using software that can read the STP format and export it as an EASM file. This process is typically done using CAD software that supports both formats.

Best software for STP to EASM conversion

One of the best software options for converting STP to EASM is SOLIDWORKS. SOLIDWORKS is a powerful CAD program that supports a wide range of file formats, including STP and EASM. To convert an STP file to an EASM file in SOLIDWORKS, follow these steps:

• Open SOLIDWORKS and go to File → Open to load your STP file.
• Once the file is open, go to File → Save As.
• In the Save as type dropdown menu, select eDrawings (*.easm).
• Click Save to convert and save your file as an EASM.

Another option is to use the eDrawings Publisher plugin, which can be integrated with various CAD software to export files directly to the EASM format.
