Hi!
I´m a new user and I´m trying to convert various STP-files into an SVG format to edit in Inkscape. I´ve managed a couple of times but it seems as if there are limitations in size and/or some sort of memory failure, because the same files act different each time. So this is what I do:
1. ( In TechDraw mode). I create a new page from template. ( A4_landscape_blank.)
2. Page appears. I select my STEP assembly and press the camera icon / or the create new View.
3. A place holder which reads ActiveView / View appears on the page but not the graphic vector output. ( see attached file)
When trying the Active view (camera) The error message says: G3d::copyActiveViewToSvgFile - no viewer for ActiveView – returning
When pressing create new view I only get the view place holder without any information in report view window.

Is this a bug or a limitation or just me doing it wrong/missing some setting? This is only a 29 MB STEP file. I´ve managed once with this file to actually get the graphic output on to the template page and with a 6 MB file I manage to convert it perhaps 50% of the time.

Hard to say without a file. You can upload a preferably simple one for further inspection. Perhaps this is a scaling error and the scale is very small?
