About

If the file being converted is larger than a certain size it will be performed asynchronously, you can then check its status with the zoo api-call status <id_of_your_operation> command.

# convert step to obj
$ zoo file convert --output-format=obj my-file.step output_dir

# convert obj to step
$ zoo file convert --output-format=step my-obj.obj .

# pass a file to convert from stdin
# when converting from stdin, the original file type is required
$ cat my-obj.obj | zoo file convert --output-format=step - output_dir
