Converters - Add option to select output UCS on export to other CAD formats

[DSantos23]

Hello,

We would like to see Inventor enhanced to support the selection of an output coordinate system when exporting models to STL & STEP formats.

Some topics about this on the community:

The image below shows how your competitor's product, Solidworks, does that.

Case ID 17775147 also confirms this is not currently supported in the product.

Please use the attached files and explanations to better understand this issue.

Thank you,

Daniel

Hi! This is indeed not yet available in Inventor. Here are a few related ideas.

Hi!

Just wondering if there are any updates to this topic?

I would also like to export Inventor model to STEP file with UCS.

Thanks.

Hi Karolin,

Exporting (importing) UCS and work geometry to STEP has been already enabled on Inventor 2023 and later.

Many thanks!
