Can you convert CDW to STEP?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert CDW to STEP?
No - not a direct conversion.

STEP (.stp) is a 3D MODEL exchange format; a .cdw is a 2D DRAWING and has no 3D solid to export. If you need STEP, it has to come from the KOMPAS 3D PART/assembly (.m3d/.a3d), not from the 2D drawing. Export the 2D .cdw to DWG/DXF/PDF instead.
