Catia v5r22, exporting assembly STEP file alwyas empty? 1

[dragonfire613]

Using Catia v5r22 with ST1 license... I have a relatively simple assembly I am trying to export as a STEP file. The file size is really small (20kb), and when I import it back in, only the assembly structure is there but no geometry.

If I export the parts individually they work fine, and when I import them back into Catiz the geometry is there. It is only when I try to do the entire assembly I basically get a file with no geometry contained.

Any ideas? This is the first time I've needed to export an assembly as STEP (as opposed to individual parts), so I feel like I'm missing something that saves the geometry in the file structure on export.

Be sure you are active in the highest level of your assembly when you export. Even if it is visible on your screen, it will only translate from where you are active down.

Also, when reading the step back in, be sure to check tools/visualization filters, and maker sure all are visible.
