Why does Fusion think I'm a Professional ?

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm a longtime user of Fusion 360.  I recently upgraded my computer to an Apple iMac with M1 chip and 11.4 OS.  This worked fine for about a week.   Then suddenly I no longer can convert my drawing to .stl .  I am a hobby user and only have 3 editable drawings open.  I have tried uninstalling Fusion and reinstalling.  I have even opened a new account under a different email address and reinstalled to no avail.  All of my old drawings appear and all functions are normal, except no drawing can be converted to an .stl file.   It appears that I have been tagged as a professional user, which I am not.  

 

Can anyone help?

Save as Mesh and then selecting .stl as the output format did not work ?

I use to hi-lite the object and then right click.  A drop down menu appeared that had an option to save as .stl.  That option is no longer there.  HOWEVER, your solution worked like a charm.  I could kiss you.  Well ..... at least a hug and a hardy handshake.  Thanks a bunch!

The option, you were looking for, is still there.  The only thing you must be doing is selecting and highlighting BODIES, surfaces will not work.  Screencast will show.
