Exporting Files

To export a SolidWorks document that has mesh or cloud point data:

  1. Click File > Save As.
  2. Select a file format in Save as type:
    • ScanTo3D (*.xyz)
    • ScanTo3D (*.wrl). Click Options to set export options.
    • ScanTo3D (*.stl). Click Options to set export options.
    • ScanTo3D (*.3ds)
    • ScanTo3D (*.obj)

    You must have the ScanTo3D add-in enabled to display these file types.
