STEP files fail to import into Fusion 360
-
Hi All,
I tried to import the STEP files for the magnetic sensor into Fusion 360 and all 3 files failed. The error report says "Content of the file is corrupted or invalid". I'd like to incorporate a bespoke mounting option and would prefer to work with the STEP files rather than the STLs.
Has anyone succeeded with this? I have managed to load other STEP files, so I don't think I'm being stoopid but will accept that I may indeed be doing something wrong . . .
Thanks. -
Perhaps your download was corrupted. Try to download again from github and be sure to right click on the RAW button and download that way. I suspect that it downloaded the step file as text.

@bridevalley I was able to download the step file and open it in Fusion 360. As @Phaedrux suggests, you need to click on each one, then right click on the 'Raw' link, and choose 'Save link as...' to download a proper STEP file. eg: 'Raw' is on right hand side, top of page here https://github.com/Duet3D/FilamentMonitors/blob/master/Filament_Monitor_Magnetic_v1.7/enclosure/MFM_enc_body.step

@Phaedrux , @droftarts
Thanks guys - my unfamiliarity with GitHub was the cause. All sorted now - body, idler and lid are all successfully imported into Fusion 360.
