save bodies and components to other formats

save bodies and components to other formats

For things like designing injection molding parts, we need to export components to STEP or other formats.

 

Currently, it seems that we have to

 

1) create a component in the current design

2) save that component as a new design

3) go to home and find that design*

4) open that design

5) export the design 

 

Ideally it'd be like exporting an STL

1) select object and export to desired format

 

Notes

* This step alone is nontrivial in itself because (a) the hub doesn't seem to auto-refresh and (b) the naming convention gives me something like «JR Beta DFM Design... 2013September8 16» with all of the distinguishing information hiden in the ellipses

 

** Also extremely annoying but unrelated: currently Fusion 360 crashes if I switch to another application while exporting. Avoidable but I do it all the time without thinking and have to restart 360.

Is this implemented in the current release or in something that's coming out ? I certainly don't see it in the version running on my Mac.
