Close window, reopen, start a second export and it works fine. Tested with multiple files on both Mac and Windows with no improvement. Only since last Fusion upgrade. Anyone else seen this?

This issue has been reported here many times, but there is a better way.

 

Instead of exporting the stl right click on the body in the browser and select Save As Mesh.

In addition to being faster, you also get more options to control the output.

Yes, thank you.  Saving as mesh works great as you stated.  Export works also, with the added step of closing and reopening the export dialog. Not ideal and not an intended feature I'm sure.  Glad its been reported
