Cannot export .step file

Anonymous — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 01:20:35 GMT

I am trying to export my design to step file. I have had no issues with this in the past, but this time, I am getting the following error:

Error: boost::filesystem::copy_file: Operation not permitted: "/var/folders/p7/k7_llgb550n5c9b1n_kc70nw0000gn/T/com.autodesk.mas.fusion360/Neutron/082e92b2-029b-43e6-8c83-65f2984eaf69.stp", "/Users/jonathan/Desktop/STP/Dome Bearing.step"

I have tried making a minor change to the file, but the same error occurs.

I managed to manually copy/paste the .stp file from the path indicated, but it seems the error relates to ability of Fusion to copy and rename to the the area I designated.

Can you export and attach the *.f3d file here so that others can attempt to reproduce the behavior with this particular file?

If you start a new file and create a simple cube - do you experience the same behavior?

I know it is late, but I found the solution.

The reason why I couldn't export the STEP was because I had a couple of faces that were incorrect. They looked find in the view, but when zoomed in very highly, I found the issues.

Once I cleared the problematic face, the file exported just fine.
