Exporting multiple step files

Exporting multiple step files

Anonymous

Hi, I have a large number of components in a folder which I would like to bulk export as step files.  I could go through 1 by 1 but there are over 100 of them so a little script/tool would save a lot of time.  Does anyone know of a decent solution?

Thanks!

That sounds like just a couple of lines of code.

 

Are you allowed to share an example (at least 2) - I'm still a beginner, but I'm getting pretty good at scripting this stuff, so I might be able to show you the commands to type/paste in.

hi, sorry for the late reply - hectic here!!  I looked into it a bit further and used the online browser to run through each and then download the step file from the email Autodesk send.  It is a bit of a faff to be honest and other cad tools do have this utility available.

 

Basically, I need to be able to open the utility, navigate to a project folder, choose components within that project folder, then click 'export to step', and it dumps the step file output into user specified folder, eg downloads, etc.  I can see from the forum that there are others who have requested such a feature from Autodesk but no further movement on it yet.  As you say, surely a bit of simple scripting (and admittedly I should find time to learn it!!!).
