I was looking at the Ultimaker Original files on GitHUB with PDF and STEP formats.
I can't get any of those STEP files to open, in AutoCAD or SolidWorks.
Just me?

Re: STEP files?
Works fine for me, in an ancient version of Pro/Engineer.
I saved and unzipped the whole UMO-folder on my hard drive before opening the files, in case you did that differently?

Re: STEP files?
I have the same problem, I have SolidWorks 2012. I have the same problems and unfortunately SW is not backwards comparable, but I have managed to open a few of the files, depends on complexity, I wonder if I can get hold of an old pro engineer copy.

Re: STEP files?
Ok, if i download the entire ZIP file from GitHub, I can open the STEP file. If I let it go through and error check it...then it will crash. So...don't do the second part
