I want to save the file as a .stl file but no other file types appear when I try to save.

Additionally, there is no export button option in the Create category under Facets.

I managed to find this:n

I have recently drawn a part on spaceclaim using the 2021 R1 version and want to save it as a stl., however it's only possible to save it as scdoc, was this supposed to happen ? I have already tried "save as" and "export"./forum/discussion/24445/export-formats-from-spaceclaim

I really like SC especially for editing 3D scan data but honestly what is the point of offering an academic modeling software if you can't export the model. nThis seems like a cruel way to make money by forcing people to buy the full version when simple exports such as .stl files are available in nearly every other modeling program, many of which offer free versions.nIf this feature is kept I urge the marketing team to FULLY DISCLOSE that the academic edition cannot export files so people like me don't spend hours on a design only to discover their work is essentially useless.n

The full version (and Research) does offer stl export, along with vrml and a few others for faceted geometry. SpaceClaim is intended to feed geometry to the meshing tools, which should read scdoc even if faceted.

So the 2021 SC student version isn't going to allow export options or save as STL options? Or did you find a setting, and or figure this out another way? I actually had this issue with the 2020 version. Figured out how to fix it, but I don't remember how. I looked back in my messages and see several different options, but again I'm unsure which one actually resolved it. I think it might be the option that involved when installing the software you need to make sure you click on the install Translators option when Run Administrator option on setup is selected. Although currently I uninstalled it all and after selecting Run Administrator option is started it thinks for a few second and then does nothing. Not sure, might be a glitch or something. Here is a link to my discussion: /forum/thread/stl-andbother-file-type-missing/. Rob and ANSYS_BBueno are the two that helped me with this. n

I can only find option to export files from ansys design modeler .igdb. why cant I find options such as .iges , .stp, .dxf options to export the file.

and then I want to import (.stp or .dxf) file in ansys Q3D from ansys workbench.

please guide me how to do that?
