Automated Exporting of Multiple Part Files from Single Scene

[Malcolm Crowe]

Is there an automated way to export all of the parts within a single scene as individual files (*.stp, *.sat, *x_t)?

For example, within a single scene there may have a fabrication assembly with 10 parts. Rather than selecting and exporting each individual part, I want to be able to select all of the desired parts and export (as individual part files) in one action. Or a process similar to this.

Hi Malcolm,
With the IronCAD Mechanichal extension you can use the Export Elements tool for this.

- Nothing selected -> the whole content of the scene (the ICS file) is exported to the selected format(s).
- Items selected -> they are individually exported to the selected format(s).

Here are two exports where the first was run with nothing selected (scene1...) and the second with the three parts selected when the tool was dropped from the catalog:

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for the tip regarding selecting the particular parts before using the Export Elements tool. That works well.
