Abstract
This guide describes how to use the STEP File Analyzer, a software tool that analyzes and generates a spreadsheet from a STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data) file. The spreadsheets simplify inspecting information in the STEP file at an entity and attribute level. STEP files can also be checked for conformance to recommended practices for Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) representation, PMI presentation, and validation properties.Citation
