STEP file usage 2

[CAD2015]

Hi,

What is the practical usage for the STEP files? When should a designer use it and why?
Thanks!

Exporting to other CAD packages such as SolidWorks, Abaqus etc. Also, to provide a dumb light part.

When you archive the job I suggest step the file out. Who knows if you will be using that same software when you need the data.
