Summary


Details

When trying to import AP203/AP214 format by STEP242 translator, the function was successful, and the data seems to be translated normally.


Step to reproduce: 
1.File > Import > STEP242

Solution

If the customer has STEP242 license, then they can use STEP242 to import any STEP files (AP203/214/242). There is no restriction that a STEP242 import only allows STEP242 files. So, it is officially supported to use STEP242 to import STEP203/STEP214.



Notes and References

If a STEP203 file import fails with STEP242 translator and succeeds with STEP203 translator then it is a problem with STEP242 translator. Please submit IR as AP242 issue.
