Hi

Can anyone explain what the different options in Preprocessing do when you export to step?

    I don't know, since there's not much info in the help or anywhere else that I can find, but my guess is that the default (which seems to be "none") is good enough for most cases. In general, with CAD translation, it's important to do some tests between systems with parts/assemblies that are representative of the size and complexity of your project. Waiting until the last minute to export and transfer a file is a recipe for disaster. 

    Except in the cases where it's using the same kernel (e.g. Parasolid), there can always be some issues.
