The Export STL (3D Only) command exports 3D surfaces and solids to an STL (Stereo Lithography) file. Once exported, this file can be used for rapid prototyping purposes or imported into other CAD packages.
To export an STL file:
1. If 3D objects from only one layer should be exported, make that layer active. If only selected objects should be exported, select the objects.
2. Select File > Export > Export STL (3D only).
3. The Export STL Options dialog box opens.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
4. Select the export options, and then click OK.
5. Specify the export file name and destination, and then click Save.
