Hi @Manu54321 ,

Can you please elaborate your question?
If you want to download the file in .f3d/.f3z that you created in fusion 360

File>Export your .f3d/.f3z file to your local drive

If you want the f3d file(BRep) in STL file format

File>Export *.stl
Right click on the top browser node and select "Save As STL"

If you are looking something different please elaborate your question.

Thank you very much @dsouzasujay
I did not know this function from fusion without going to the browser
on the other hand, when I go to the browser to download the file I select the STL format well, on the other hand I receive a Windows file and not a file in STL format
but now know how to save the file without going through the browser
thank you 🙏
cordially

Hi,

What do you mean when you talk about a Windows file?
The default format in Fusion is f3d. This is used both in Datapanel (cloud) and for saving to local storage.
When it comes to 3D printing, for example, the STL format is often chosen.
The described formats are used on both Windows and MAC systems.

@Manu54321 ,

Fusion 360 won't generate a 'Windows file', the one you highlighted in the image.
Can please create a new folder and try to export the file again, but this time please try to recored the workflow in a Screencast?

Hello
I asked for the file again in the browser but still the same thing
the * STL file is still as a "Windows file" and I also requested the same file in * SMT format but also got a "Windows file"

Hello
I found the problem
in fact, I put special characters in the title of the file and once I removed them I received my file in * STL format
