Transformation of Occurence is not considered on STL export

[Anonymous]

I moved an object using the transform property:

trans = occ.transform

trans.translation = adsk.core.Vector3D.create(100, 0, 0)

occ.transform = trans

If I then export the occurence to STL this translation is not considered. In contrast, moving an object directly in the scene is considered for export.

How can I change the position of an object in the coordinate frame of the exported STL?

The STL exporter is writing out the component. An occurrence is just a reference to the component so moving the occurrence doesn't have an impact on the referenced component.  One workaround if you need the STL in a specific position and orientation is to move the body within the component.

That's what I was searching for, thank you!
