Step File problem

Hello, in Inventor 2010 I am trying to take an assembly and shrinkwrap it down to a part, but then I save the part as a .stp file so I can send it to a customer. When I go to open the .stp file there is no model there. I have done this in earlier versions and it worked but now it does not in 2010. Can somebody please help.

Shrinkwrap has changed in 2010. Have you gone through the "New Features
Workshop" in Help?

Does thae attached image help you?

Then just do a standard Derived part.

1. Create a new part file, exit the sketch.
2. Derive the assembly into the new part file. See attached.
3. Save the part file, then do a Save Copy As STEP.

Still no luck, I have attached the .stp file, it seem as though when I do a save as copy it loses everything. I'm trying everything you are telling me and it still is not working.
Does it work for you?
