title: Converting STEP files to DWG by using autodesk Inventor and VBA
body: <p>Does anyone know how to do that? My skills in using VBA aren't very good and I also googled for it, but I do not even know how to open one of those files by using VBA. </p>
  
  <p>Maybe someone of you did already do something like this before?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot for any help.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>The following steps have to be done do convert the files:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Open the STEP file -> File -> Open</li>
  <li>Clicking on "Application" in the menu bar -> then "AEC-Exchange"</li>
  <li>Now there appears a dialog on the left called "AEC-Exchange" including the item: "Save as DWG". By clicking on it the file can be saved as an AutoCAD 2007 dwg file.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I hope this helps.</p>
