STEP Import and Export Plug-ins updated

Step Export Plug-in for Rhino 4.0 SR3 adds:

• Step files generated by this plug-in can be read by Altium Designer, Solidworks 2008, and Solid Edge.
• Step objects are assigned the layer color when appropriate.
• Open polysurfaces are assigned color correctly.
• Block instances with non-rigid transformations are exploded in the step file. So now mirrored or scaled objects are exported correctly.
