When I export an assembly or model as a STEP export, the metadata includes the file location in the "File Name section". (see below for example).
When sharing STEP files to customers & suppliers this can share confidential information (for example drive structure) to an individual who knows how to review STEP file metadata in a text editor. Other CAD tools do not capture the directory information when populating this field. I recommend updating the STEP export function to only capture the exported file name and not the full directory location.
Example Code:
FILE_NAME(
/* name */
'C:/Users/******/******/*******/********/Quotes & BOMs/Example Models/Model Name v4.step',
/* time_stamp */ '2022-10-10T17:54:44-05:00',
/* author */ (''),
/* organization */ (''),
/* preprocessor_version */ 'ST-DEVELOPER v19',
/* originating_system */ 'Autodesk Translation Framework v11.7.0.108',
/* authorisation */ '');
The Code should read as follows upon export:
FILE_NAME(
/* name */
'Model Name v4.step'
/* time_stamp */ '2022-10-10T17:54:44-05:00',
/* author */ (''),
/* organization */ (''),
/* preprocessor_version */ 'ST-DEVELOPER v19',
/* originating_system */ 'Autodesk Translation Framework v11.7.0.108',
/* authorisation */ '');
