Recent update removed "export to STL" option

Hey, all.

 

The recent update seems to have removed the "Export to STL" right-click option when within Fusion 360's project tree menu when working on a specific design. It has been replaced with the "Export to mesh" option, which seems to only allow exporting a single body at a time. Previously, the Export to STL option would allow exporting all of the visible bodies at the same time. I find this change very frustrating.

 

Is there another way to export multiple bodies to the same STL file? Does anyone know of an extension that can make this happen? I hope Autodesk adds this feature back in, because it's one of the reasons I'm using this software in the first place.

What happens if you click on the Save as Mesh at higher level?

You can highlight the top level assembly, in the browser, and right click and use the "Save to Mesh".  If is just a component file with a lot of bodies, use the same technique.

I found the solution! It was actually the "Mesh" tab that I think was newly added in the latest update. From there, I can "Export" (far right) and choose STL from the drop down, and that worked for what I wanted. Thanks for the help.
