Fusion 360 can't save. It just says "Activate Component"

How do I save  .stl   files ?  I am using Fusion 360.  I can save file but not  stl file.

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the forums!

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking - have you tried saving a .stl using this method? : click here for link 

Here's a little gif showing you how to right click and select "save as .stl" on either the parent component or the child component.

You also might be interested in taking a look at this video that explains the difference between components and bodies, and shows how to activate a component. Link

Let me know if that solved your problem or if you need more information!
