Not filling in the body of IPT file about inventorloader

Hello, sorry to hear that you have problems, while using the converter.
Thank you very mucht for sharing the example, so that I can have a look into it.
Till soon

No - not a buzzkiller.
But only one fix a day!😄

I have a general problem with generating the face for a surface and the wires. Sometimes it's not possible for me to calculate the remaining face from the set of wires and the given surface - I must regrett, but there will no solution in the nearer future for that. Meybe because the wires are not closed.
The STEP was working (Not as pretty as in Inventor but not so far away):

Trying to fix it!

[jmplonka]

Should be fixed now - please verify:

Verified! Thanks @jmplonka ! Looks like the gears and supports are importing nicely under STEP!

I really don't want to be a buzzkill, but the back plate of the Antikyra is not converting...

Plate Back.zip

It's a very complicated piece with spiral slots made of opposing half circles. Care to take a look?

[jmplonka]

I think, it's working now:

No unresolved refs anymore ?!? Hope this fixes a lot of other issues.

Bravo! The load in FreeCAD looks flawless. Do you have any suggestions how I can get all the glyphs in the original file transferred into FreeCAD? I am still FreeCAD novice.

[jmplonka]

Maybe it's because of the unsupported "texture" feature.
You can apply an image to a surface, but currently this is missing in the importer "View->Texture mapping..."
