I have been trying to send a customer STEP files of parts and assemblies that were created in SolidWorks. My customer is opening the STEP files in Pro-E. They are not opening up perfectly, however. He is running log files when importing and a lot of errors are showing up. Sometimes the parts look stable on screen, but the log files are telling us they are not stable. Can anyone help with this issue? I am not sure if the files need to be rebuilt, or if our attempt at getting perfect STEP file conversion is futile. I have uploaded one of the STEP files I've delivered to my customer along with the log file to yousendit.com.

Hi Chris and welcome to the forum! Just tried importing your file to my SW with absolutely no problem at all, but I guess that doesn't help you much. Probably a silly question, but is using IGES an option? Can any of you Pro-e guys out there suggest anything?
Hi have you resolved this problem as yet? what Solidworks are you using? I sometimes send parts and assemblies to customers with Pro E and usually save the files as Pro E files from Solidworks and if they struggle to open the file, i send IGES or Parasolid files witch work 90% of the time
I used to do this a lot at my old job. What does your client want to do with the files? Imported step/IGES/parasolids files in Pro-E will be featureless uneditable 3d shapes. I would be surprised to import a file and not have an error in the log. I used to send the files in IGES or Parasolid. Normally trying multiple different save settings and seeing what the best result is. But then I had the fortune of solidworks and Pro-E on the same computer. In the end I redid most of them in ProE as the results of the importation was poor.
