Set
STEP configuration data |
(Available only when exporting to
STEP AP203 (*.step) file
types). Displays the STEP Configuration
Data for Export dialog box.
If you select Set
STEP configuration data, the STEP Configuration Data for
Export dialog box appears.
Because you cannot group the sketch elements
together in a STEP file, when you open the exported STEP
file in SOLIDWORKS:
- All lines and splines are imported
into a single 3D sketch.
- Circles, ellipses, and parabolas are
imported into individual 2D sketches.

Export
face/edge properties |
Exports face and edge properties.
Clear this option to improve export performance. |
Export
appearances |
Exports file appearances with
reduced performance. Clear to omit exporting appearances but to
improve performance. |
Export
3D Curve features |
Exports solid and surface bodies
as wireframe entities. All 3D curves (such as composite curves, 3D
wires, and imported curves) are saved. |
Split
periodic faces |
Splits periodic faces, such as
cylindrical faces, into two. Splitting a periodic face can improve
the quality of the export but can affect performance. |
Export
assembly components as separate STEP files (recommended for
large assemblies) |
Exports assemblies as atomic STEP
files. Separate STEP files are created for each component in the
assembly.
- When you export an assembly as a STEP
file, each part file and subassembly is exported as a
separate STEP file and is referenced by a top-level STEP
file. If there are multiple instances of a part or
subassembly, only one STEP file is created for that
component. That same STEP file is referenced multiple
times by the STEP assembly structure.
- If there are multiple instances of the same component, assembly cut
features are not exported.

Output
coordinate system |
Select a coordinate system to
apply for export. If you select -- default --, no transformation matrix is
applied. |
