Need to convert an STL (or OBJ) file into a "real CAD model"? There are several tutorials which already exists for this topic. I'm making a new tutorial to give additional information.

SolidWorks | How to Convert a STEP File into SLDPRT Like a Pro

The Savvy Engineer

Learning how to convert a STEP file into an SLDPRT file like a pro is a valuable skill for anyone working with SolidWorks, whether you are a student, engineer, or product designer. STEP files are widely used across industries because they allow seamless data exchange between different CAD platforms. However, while STEP files carry geometry, they do not always maintain the feature history that SolidWorks uses for parametric modeling. This means that directly working with a STEP file can be limiting when you need to make modifications, apply advanced design techniques, or prepare the model for manufacturing.
