Sub-Assemblies do not display in Pathfinder after importing a STEP file into Solid Edge, just one large Assembly file.
Solution
To display Part Files and Sub-Assemblies after importing a STEP file into Solid Edge you will have to make changes to Import options for "Multiple Bodies " within the "STEP.INI" file located in the Solid Edge Preferences folder.
- Exit Solid Edge
- Goto the Solid Edge Preferences folder and locate "STEP.INI"
- Select and Edit the "Import Multiple Bodies As Single Part file=On" to be "Import Multiple Bodies As Single Part file=Off"
- Save and exit the "STEP.INI" file
- Open your STEP file into Solid Edge
