Export Model File Save

[john_lute]

Here is and example of my code.

In order for this macro to work, I have to include a macro pause "" after

EXPORT MODEL $MODEL FILESAVE
$modelexp

If I block out the Macro pause as shown in the example it errors out.

//////////// Explorer Stuff///////////////////////
// Removes selected items from explorer variable
EXPLORER SELECT Model ROOT

Macro Pause "Select Desired Models"

IF is_empty(explorer_selected_entities()) {

Macro Pause "Make sure to select your Models"

}

// Loops Through Models
FOREACH MODEL IN explorer_selected_entities() {


FORM MODELTRANS EDIT MODEL $MODEL INTERACTIVE
TRANSFORM TYPE WORLD TRANSFORM MODEL $MODEL

// Example of code from macro record
//EXPORT MODEL "433204_DT03_EJECTOR_INSERT" FILESAVE
//"C:\cnc\5.5\WP_Macros\test.stl"

// Model save path
string modelexp = "C:\cnc\5.5\WP_Macros\" + $model.name

DELETE FILE $modelexp

EXPORT MODEL $MODEL FILESAVE
$modelexp

//macro pause ""


TRANSFORM TYPE WORKPLANE TRANSFORM MODEL $MODEL

}

Replace:

// Model save path
string modelexp = "C:\cnc\5.5\WP_Macros\" + $model.name
DELETE FILE $modelexp
EXPORT MODEL $MODEL FILESAVE
$modelexp

By:

// Model save path
string modelexp = "C:\cnc\5.5\WP_Macros\" + $model.name + ".stl"
DELETE FILE $modelexp
EXPORT MODEL $MODEL $modelexp
