Ipt to Step is not working.

[leoheck]

Hi, I just found this workbench to convert a model to step.
It looks like it is not working for me. I am not sure if this is a problem with my ipt model or a problem with the InventorLoader.
I am going to share the output of Freecad, here.

I selected to import the step, but it looks like it is importing all the options presented in the popup window.

20:39:25  Importing: /home/lheck/Downloads/Caja_Metalica_Octagonal.ipt
20:40:06  pyException: Traceback (most recent call last):

I am also attaching the file here.

According to the log the model has been successfully converted, but failed writing the STEP file /home/lheck/Downloads/Caja_Metalica_Octagonal_ipt/0016.step.

This is not a problem of this library.

Ah, ok.

The generated file is this binary file

Reading it with the text editor it looks like this.

It is a data file...

It should be like this one (ASCII file)

The cat can see something inside...

It looks like I have encoding issues or something else, here..

This is strange, as it should be ASCII.

Attached.
