CAD files to Blender

Hi guys! What is the best method to import files from a CAD software to open in Blender? Is there any add on to import step, iges or parasolid files?

Thanks

* @Romain Guimbal * Hi Romain. Let me ask you a question. My imported model looks faceted even though I turned on smooth and auto smooth options. Do you know what is happening?

* @mwsiviero * The new version has a way better method for making the polygons

* @mwsiviero * is it the normals or is it the polygons ? If it is the polygons you can change the resolution, if it is the normals I'm not sure, so maybe send a screenshot.
