The "Export DWG/DXF" option has been removed for student accounts?

I've been using OnShape for some of my classes to create DXF files for my laser engraver as part of a manufacturing unit. Last year this was available, but when I went to have students do this again today, the option to export from a sketch no longer seems to be there for them. It is there for me on their assignments. Is there any particular reason that this option was removed from students on assignments?

    In order to export sketches as DXFs, you need export permissions on the doc. If the Educator restricts permissions on the doc to just edit, then students will not be able to export DXFs.
