In Inventor export dialogue is missing the option to include all work features to exported files. It is interesting that when I import any exchange files, the import option for work features in the dialogue appears.

It seems that the translator is only able to read (import) the work features but it is not able to export them. Please improve the translator! Include the same export option as it is in import dialogue.
This way the planes, axis and points can be transferred to other software. It is important for fixture and measure jigs manufacturers who need to use the work features as limits, measure points, for constraints etc. We would like to provide them with a set of work features in exported format to avoid design mistakes.
Now we have to open our IPT models (which include work features) with Creo, save them as (STP, IGES, SAT, STL and others) files including work features and send them to our collaborator, supplier, vendor etc. for next work.
It is obvious that exchange files can comprise work features and some translators can export (not only import) them. Why Autodesk does not implement it?

Why Autodesk lets his competitors beat him in this field? And push his customers to use competitive software?
