Hello All,
Thank so much to all the people who responded to my query. This was the
first time I had used the RP list for an immediate problem and was most
impressed by the fast response and wealth of knowledge. As a few of the
replies were directly sent to me I'd like to share with everyone. We are
still evaluating all of the choices. Yes, I was aware that Solidworks has
direct STEP importation, but the file was an incomplete solid with problems
and needed to be repaired with a surface modeling application.
Here are the responses:

They provide a range of translator products. I am about to start evaluating
their CATIA to ParaSolid bi-directional translator.
They are also getting ready to beta release a product called CADHealer
which is supposed to let you interactively repair problem CAD files (within
your preset tolerances) from any source, then export them to your
preferred format.
PS: I am not affiliated with Theorem in any way.

Our company recently bought a STEP translator that works from within
AutoCAD/Mech Desktop. We bought it from our Autodesk dealer.

A benchmark test completed last month was successful from Pro/E solid STEP
output file of a cosmetics injection moulded display container into VisiCam
5 a PC 3D CADCAM package that is a likely candidate for inclusion to a
Direct Numerical Control project that is ongoing here at Pera.
The transfer created a Parasoild file that could also be read by the other
CAD packages with that database kernel.
The contact for VisiCam 5 software and STEP translators is:
Richard Youhill Marketing Manager
or
Phil Tebble CAD/CAM sales
If any body wants an appraisal of the full capabilities of the CADCAM
software then I am afraid you will have to wait as training is still
ongoing.
However if there are any VisiCAD or VisiCAM users out there I would be glad
for any feedback from them where ever they are.
