Exporting in Stereo Lithography Format

The Export Stereo Lithography (3D Only) command exports all visible 3D surfaces and solids in the current layer into an STL-formatted file. Once exported, this file can be used for rapid prototyping purposes or imported into other CAD packages.

To export a file in the Stereo Lithography format:

1.	Select File > Export > Export Stereo Lithography (3D Only).

The Export STL Options dialog box opens.

2.	Select ASCII or Binary for the file type. Using the slider control, adjust the coarseness of the polygonal representation for the export quality.

3.

Click OK.

4.	Specify the file name and destination, and then click Save.
