Convert SLDDRW to STEP

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

STEP/STP is a 3D solid-model exchange format - a 2D drawing has no 3D solid to export. To get a STEP you must export the underlying 3D part/assembly (.sldprt/.sldasm), not the .slddrw. (db lists slddrw->step/stp/igs/iges with software_count 3, but that comes from confusing the drawing with the model it references.)

Converting SLDDRW to STEP

A .SLDDRW file and a .STEP file hold different kinds of data, so there is no direct way to turn one into the other. The programs listed below can open .SLDDRW files and may be able to export the content to a format closer to .STEP. One of them is SolidWorks: SolidWorks is software for CAD 3D modeling and visualization. Thanks to it, we will design many everyday objects with their documentation. Solutions offered by….
