STEP file import/export for CADSketcher object

[elmout31]

Hello, team and thank for your work. Especially for this idea to bridge gap with CAD software.

I would like to start a new subject based on my CAD experiences.

Every CAD/CAM software is able to import export STEP file. STEP file are available on internet for numerous of mechanical, hydraulic, electrical.. component. Blender has not this feature as it is not a CAD/CAM software. (And i understand perfectly why).

As this plugin, intend to fill the gap between blender and CAD software, adding a STEP file importer to be able to modify it within CAD sketcher plugin would be a great improvement. Part made within CAD sketcher shall be exportable too.

I search on this forum and the roadmap but did not found this subject which for CAD designer is nearly vital. So maybe, add this in the long term roadmap may truly be a plus to convert CAD people to Blender. :-)

Thank anyway to have started the job to add CAD functionality.
