    I need to read these file formats in solidworks. One is IGES and the
    other is STEP. However I don't currently have the plugins for them in
    Solidworks. Are the plugins available for download somewhere? :)

    Or do I have to go buy them :(

    I am using Solidworks 2004 (SP2.1). And right now it doesn't seem to
    recognize IGS and STP files even though, the File->Open option shows
    them there. Windows explorer doesn't not place an icon beside these
    files.

    TIA

    You should be able to open them. Are both files of the same thing?
    Can you post one of the files at www.mcadforums.com ?
