Can't export a .stl, only a pdf?

Dear Onshape, Please help. I have attempted to 'export' to a .stl, however onshape only seems to let me export then download a pdf? I have saved .stl files before however. 
Any ideas? Many thanks! See link

    Is the document owned by you?  As long as you are either the owner, or are shared into the document with export access, there should be an "Export..." button when you right click on a part in the parts list, or on the part studio tab itself:


    Then, once you've clicked on that "Export...", you can select the "STL" option from the "Format" dropdown:
