Large Step Files

I have a 738M step file that takes a long time to load into BOBCAD V33. However, once loaded I do not see anything on the screen. I zoom all and then attempt to select anything. But, nothing selects. Are there additional steps I need to take or is this file just too big?

I too had a long wait to load a large step file, probably
around the 500 megs range. Just waited and waited and finally it came thru.

Hopefully some in the Support department can help you out.

FYI, I tried a smaller file ~200M and got the same results.

Looks like the conversion program I was using did something to the step file to make it be not visible. I found a commercial step file which loaded just fine. So, I should be OK. Will find another conversion program. Thanks!
