MBD Step File Viewer

Does anyone know a good free step file viewer that will show the MBD Info from the Inspection table. When I export the file to Step format and select AP242 format, with the Use Custom Annotation Text height set to 3mm, I try it in EDrawings, which just opens the model, doesnt show any annotations.
I just want to check that they are showing before sending Step file to manufacturers.
Thanks
Stu

Tried again, no idea why as I didnt change anything, and EDrawings now shows the MBD annotations….result…
That's a Dassault product baby. Something breaks randomly? Change nothing and try again and it'll work. Maybe.

Shouldn't ODA's Open Step Viewer be able to show this kind of stuff? https://openstepviewer.com/ (60 day demo)
