I am opening an .stp file given to us from a customer. The model is an assembly, so it also contains modeled hardware if that matters.

Issues arise when we save as a .STEP file (AP 214) to use in Solidworks.

We double check the conversion was successful with CompareVidia, we compare the original .stp to the new .STEP.

One of the angles gets rounded up by 0.05 degrees when the file is converted. It measures from 18.85 in the original .stp to 18.9 in the new .STEP. This causes the report to be a failure.

How do I prevent the conversion from .stp to .STEP from rounding up this angle? We have never experienced this problem before and are stumped.

We tried changing the tolerances in Options from 2 places to 5-6 places for the angles, and the conversion still comes up rounded for that angle.

File is a CUI so I cannot share images.
