Output as - Compress file

ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e, swAMFCompression)

ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e, swAMFCompression, <OnFlag>)

Boolean value

Specifies whether to compress the output file

Output - Unit

ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceIntegerValue(swUserPreferenceIntegerValue_e.swExportStlUnits)

ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceIntegerValue(swUserPreferenceIntegerValue_e.swExportStlUnits, swLengthUnit_e.<Value>)

Valid options as defined in swLengthUnit_e:

• 0 = swMM (millimeters)   

• 1 = swCM (centimeters)  

• 2 = swMETER

• 3 = swINCHES

• 4 = swFEET

Resolution -

• Coarse
• Fine
• Custom

ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceIntegerValue(swUserPreferenceIntegerValue_e.swExportSTLQuality)

ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceIntegerValue(swUserPreferenceIntegerValue_e.swExportSTLQuality, swSTLQuality_e.<Value>)

See swSTLQuality_e for valid options

Specifies the resolution of the output for additive manufacturing files

Resolution - Deviation - Tolerance

ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceDoubleValue(swUserPreferenceDoubleValue_e.swSTLDeviation)

ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceDoubleValue(swUserPreferenceDoubleValue_e.swSTLDeviation, <Value>)

Double value

Specifies the deviation tolerance, which controls whole-part tessellation; lower numbers generate files with greater whole-part accuracy

Resolution - Angle - Tolerance

ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceDoubleValue(swUserPreferenceDoubleValue_e.swSTLAngleTolerance)

ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceDoubleValue(swUserPreferenceDoubleValue_e.swSTLAngleTolerance, <Value>)

Double value

Specifies the angle tolerance, which controls smaller detail tessellation; lower numbers generate files with greater small-detail accuracy, but those files take longer to generate

Resolution - Preview

ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e, swSTLPreview)

ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e, swSTLPreview, <OnFlag>)

Boolean value

Specifies whether a faceted model preview is displayed in the graphics area

Include materials

ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e, swAMFMaterials)

ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e, swAMFMaterials, <OnFlag>)

Boolean value

Specifies whether to include materials

Include colors

ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e, swAMFColors)

ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e, swAMFColors, <OnFlag>)

Boolean value

Specifies whether to include colors
