Break Link From Original File

Unread post by senuba »

Hello,
I download STEP files from websites that provide 3D CAD models. After opening these STEPs, I need to perform break link from original file for each one. I can automatically change the units, but I can't automatically break the link. Can you write and provide the code for this?

Turn 3D interconnect off.

This will import parts without the link. (however, the import may be less robust with 3Dinterconnect off).

@DanPihlaja is!
Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls aren't there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show us how badly we want things.
