When a STEP is imported as an assembly it may result in one part. However when you open
the part there are a lot of Part Copies. User would like an option so that
when this happens Solid Edge creates parts of the Part Copies.
Is there an option in the STEP import options to create an assembly with parts when
this happens?
Solution
Edit the Solid Edge program\preference\translators\STEP.INI and
modify "Import Multiple Bodies As Single Part file=On" to Off. This will
create a unique part file for each Solid Part copy
