Description

The Std Export command exports selected objects to a different file format. Many file formats are supported and for some formats multiple export options exist. See Import Export for more information.

Usage

  1. Select one or more objects. To select a PartDesign body in the Tree view only the body itself or its last feature should be picked. Do not use Ctrl+A to select all objects. Avoid using a box selection, Shift+B, in FreeCAD version 0.18 and earlier.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Select the File → Export... option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+E.
  3. Select the correct file format in the dialog box.
  4. Enter a filename.
  5. Press the Save button.

Notes

Preferences
