Export to STL - bug or feature ?

[KirillChepizhko]

Refinement options dialog doesnt want to remember last chosen type of export inside STL export. Once I set it to custom, keeps opening with custom. Which is a pain in the neck if you messed with it and set it to smth complicated. I think this window should default to your last selection.

I would not call it a bug because it still works. It's more of a conceptual mistake!

The problem is that Fusion 360's .stl output is ridiculously slow.

Every time you change one of the settings ist starts re calculating the .stl mesh, which makes finetunink a really painstaking process.

Hi @KirillChepizhko,

I have looked into the issue and I tested it a couple times. I think I found a work around, you can save the latest Refinement setting when you hit Ok in the SAVE AS STL window. But then Cancel the Save process. Now Fusion should have saved your latest settings. A good tip is to deactivate the Preview before you change your refinement settings. Once you changed all the the refinement settings to your needs you can just enable Preview again and it computes the changes faster. I hope this information helps.

Thanks,
