Exporting an exploded assembly from ERA to STEP?

Exporting an exploded assembly from ERA to STEP?

Exporting an exploded assembly from ERA to STEP?

(OP)
I have to provide a STEP file of an assembly, but with the components exploded.

I figured I'd do it in the Explode/Render/Animate environment... But when I try to save the exploded configuration as STEP, SE tells me "The model contains no bodies. An output file will not be generated".

I would have prefered not to change the assembly constraints, but it looks like it's the only possible way to do this... Unless anyone has a better idea?

Thanks.

Hi,

AFAIK that's not possible. The exploded view is just what
is says a view the assembly itself is not physically put
into bits and pieces

That's what I thought. Well, I'll make an alternate assembly file, with constraints modified to explode the assembly.

Thanks for your response.
