STEP export issues
STEP export issues
(OP)
Hello all,
I have two problems when exporting to step214. In both cases I export as "entire part" to retain the assembly structure in the step file.
Problem A:
ALL solids are exported, even solids that are hidden. I only want visible solids to be exported. Of course, you can export "selected objects", but that will eliminate the assembly structure that I want to keep in the step file.
Problem B:
If the part contains a drawing sheet that has a section view, the exported step file will contain additional solids which are cut in half. This I don't need.
How can these problems be solved?

You can get there from your Windows->Start->Programs->UGSNX->Translators ... .
Then go into the Edit pull-down and you will see a Settings menu - in there you can set what layers to export.
You cannot export based on what is being shown and hidden, they must be in seperate layers.

So, to hide this extra section body when exporting to step, I simply move this body (selecting the body in the section view only) to another layer, then disabling this layer in the export settings.
