Export Assembly As STEP

Export Assembly As STEP

File: Product_Document_Scripts/Export_Assembly_As_STEP.py
Version: 1.0

Description

Exports the entire active CATProduct as a single assembled STEP file, preserving the full assembly structure in one file. The STEP file is saved next to the CATProduct, or in the user's Downloads folder if the product has not been saved.

This differs from Save Child Parts To STEP, which exports each CATPart as a separate individual STEP file.
