Can you export an assembly

henry_feldman

Is it possible to export an assembly. I imported some parts from another CAD package and added them onto a part of my own items like an incredibly useful function for additive manufacturing (I realize it would be goofy as subtractive function).

Right click the tab at the bottom and select Export.

Thanks. I often forget the tab itself is a menu target...

Oh and tip for whoever searches this in the future, if you don't uncheck the "export as separate objects" you will not get a union (for 3D printing you probably want a union)

NeilCooke, I ran into a probem with exporting an Assembly as STL. I expected it to be exported as positioned in the assembly but I can see the stl has its Partstudio placements rather than the Assembly placement ( my comment: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/60673/#Comment_60673).
Can you confirm that please?
