.SAT files

[Globey]

I was downloading a 3d model part from a vendor's website.
It offered the 3D model, which was basically just a knob, in ACAD 2002, and other 3D modeling programs. It also offered a 2D model of the object as well.
So the 3D model I chose, in AutoCAD, came as a .SAT file.
The 2D model worked fine, and was in .DWG format.
Does anyone know what a .SAT extension is? Is this something AutoCAD has used, or was it giving me the 3D model in another program altogether?
I tried opening it using 'AutoCAD viewer' but it didn't come up with anything.

Hi Bill.
.SAT is the extension for ACIS solid models - sort of equivalent to .DXF.
Use the ACISIN command.

Got it!
Thanks Jab!
