This topic contains two tables. The information in the table:

appearing immediately after the screen capture of the Export Options - File Format - STEP dialog corresponds to the settings on that dialog.
titled Miscellaneous Enumerators contains enumerators related to saving STEP data.

Export face/edge properties	ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swStepExportFaceEdgeProps) ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swStepExportFaceEdgeProps, <OnFlag>)	Boolean value	Specifies whether to export face and edge properties
Split periodic faces	ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swStepExportSplitPeriodic) ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swStepExportSplitPeriodic, <OnFlag>)	Boolean value	Specifies whether to split periodic faces on export
Export 3D Curve features	ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swStepExport3DCurveFeatures) ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swStepExport3DCurveFeatures, <OnFlag>)	Boolean value	Specifies whether to include 3D curve features in the exported file
Output coordinate system	IModelDocExtension::GetUserPreferenceString(swUserPreferenceString_e.swFileSaveAsCoordinateSystem, swUserPreferenceOption_e.swDetailingNoOptionSpecified) IModelDocExtension::SetUserPreferenceString(swUserPreferenceString_e.swFileSaveAsCoordinateSystem, swUserPreferenceOption_e.swDetailingNoOptionSpecified, <Value>)	String value	Contains the name of the transform coordinate system; an empty string signifies that the default coordinate system that does not require a transform; coordinate settings are not saved with the document; they must be selected at export time
