Is Assembly export to STL coming soon?

Hey,
I use export to STL quite extensively cause I use my 3D printer all the time. So I can export part studios, yet those are not very good when it comes to aligning things around!
I'm trying to print a fully working assembly out of the printer, so I need to get the mating done first and export to STL then print them...
What do you think?

Hi Mahmoud,
We have exporting STL of an assembly on our enhancement list. In the mean time there is a work-around. It is not pretty, but you can export your assembly as an x_t file then import it (using the "+" in the lower left) to bring it in as a Part Studio. You can use "export to STL" on the Part Studio tab to get the all of parts as a single STL file. It is not the ideal solution but it works for now.

Good to know you have that on the list. I'mwaiting for it.
