Honestly, you're probably better off practicing in Alibre by making the part again. A STEP file is going to lose all the structure of the thing, in terms of parameters, component assignments, etc. The lowest-common-denominator CAD file formats are unfortunately too low and lose all the important information beyond just the basic polygons of the 3D geometry. Furthermore, the workflow and intended usage pattern of all the software packages are different, so you're better off learning the way Alibre wants you to do things, rather than adapting what Fusion wants you to do, if that makes sense.

If anyone can export the F3D to STEP for me, it would be appreciated, but I see that F3D and PDF is the std. It's already a kindness to have access to what is given. Much appreciated. Any possibility of exporting that F3D file as STEP? I'm trying to avoid the SaaS rental model by using Alibre CAD. PDF is fine for making the part, but I was hoping to practice on Alibre CAD with this relatively simple part.

2020-07-22 16:22:19 +0000 UTCGreat stuff, your videos are second to none, very informational and fun to watch, had some spare time yesterday and made a hammer from your plans with the exception of using my mill for a couple of things since I was too lazy to use the lathe for everything. Thanks again, looking forward to see what you come up with next. 😊

2020-07-22 13:47:13 +0000 UTCHmm, I hadn't realized that. But your attention to detail in both the content and production comes through and is appreciated.

2020-07-21 22:43:39 +0000 UTCOh thank you very much! I appreciate that, because I put a lot of effort into the audio. Honestly, audio is harder than video. You have to capture it perfectly because you can't do much to fix it. Most video problems can be touched up or worked around after the fact, but with audio you get basically one chance. I've spent more on microphones than all other gear combined on this channel. 😂

It's like having you right there in the room. Just wanted to say that your audio video quality is right up there with the content of your channel. I think the Discover Channel needs to pick you up for a TV production. :-)
