That's fantastic news! It's probably the direct connect translator used by showcase and a couple of other Autodesk products. I look forward to getting my hands on Max2016 and giving it a go! When is the release date?

I cant wait to play with this!!Originally posted by thablanch View PostNow that we can talk about 3dsMax 2016
You'll find in there a brand new step importer that does an amazing job. The possibility to import directly as a mesh, with some preset easy slider, or import as body Objects, as you were used to. It is great. I can load 1.7GB step file, and wait a little, and have a perfect mesh, automatically, each time ( at least all the ones I imported up to now) Saved tons of time transferring stuff.
The dev. on this was great.Cheers,

Keeps the instances of bolts and stuff like this.
Axis at the good place, on the good local. A huge time saver for importing the geometry, but also for the manipulation after.Alain Blanchette

Does it also maintain the naming of the objects/meshes from Solidworks to Max?Originally posted by thablanch View PostCheers,

My sources are not solid works (usually) But it maintains the Catia Naming and, from the very few experiences importing solid works, the naming remains, the <layer> or <scene explorer> keeps the logic.Alain Blanchette

All of this is FANTASTIC news! Especially the local axis for manipulation after the fact. I wrote a script to help "properly" position the pivot point for adjustments after import.
Our sources are the following, UX, Inventor, Catia, and Solidworks, with a few other random programs too. STEP hasn't been my go to choice for many, many reasons, but this just may sway my decision. It REALLY sucks I don't have access to this right now! I have a HUGE project that I need to start today or tomorrow dealing with a problematic STEP file that I would like to NOT have to manually edit "back into shape". It would save me DAYS worth of work. Checking my subscription page hourly to excessive!? HahahahaComment
