Problems importing large STEP file

I'm trying to import a large size STEP file (315 Mb) and after a few seconds of loading RoboDK crashes. If I try to import a smaller size file is all ok but not with the large size one.

Could this be related to problems with my educational license? Is it necessary having a professional license for importing large size step file?

I recommend you to increase the import accuracy tolerance of the 3D file import:

Select Tools-Options
Select the CAM tab
Select Fast import settings
Reload the STEP or IGES files

Can you share the file? We can better take a look.

I did what you said in the post. I can't share the file, i think is too heavy.

It's all okay, I tried and retried and basically when Message "RoboDK is not responding" appears i have to wait few minutes and my Step file will load.

OK perfect, thank you for letting us know it worked.
