Is there a way to find out the units of a step file before I import it? Reason is that I’d usually want to import it into my template that matches those units, since that’s what the client it probably wanting me to use (that’s the short-answer version.) Same for IGES?

There is also a new command, StepUnitsAndTolerance that just gives you those things when you choose a step file. It isn’t significantly faster than StepTree but, unlike StepTree, it is available in the Mac version as well as the Windows version.
