STEP file reading is crashing VSCode

[Amitabh-Mukherjee]

I am trying to read the assembly structure from a multi-level assembly STEP file.
The below-mentioned line is causing the VSCode server to disconnect.
I am using OCC version: 7.8.1

doc = TDocStd_Document(TCollection_ExtendedString("STEP"))

@tpaviot - Can you please help fix this issue?

Hi,

I am experiencing the same issue here. Did you manage to solve it?
Here is a relevant post [https://github.com//issues/1278]

I managed to follow the post and create something like, which worked for me for OCC 7.9.0

from OCC.Core.BinXCAFDrivers import binxcafdrivers
from OCC.Core.TDocStd import TDocStd_Application, TDocStd_Document
app = TDocStd_Application()
binxcafdrivers.DefineFormat(app)
doc = TDocStd_Document(fname)
app.NewDocument("BinXCAF", doc)

Hope this will be helpful to you too.
