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.
    • Be careful when you use Ctrl+A to select all objects: this will also select invisible objects which in most cases should not be exported.
    • Avoid using a Box selection, Shift+B, in FreeCAD version 0.18 and earlier as it can select PartDesign bodies twice, resulting in duplicate objects in the exported file.
  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.

Options

  • Press Esc or the Cancel button to abort the command.
