Export .stl from Selcted model relative to the active work plane

I need to export a file, an .STL model, relative the the workplane used in my NC program. Is this possible?

Hi,

For that, I am using the model transformations - "Transform to World" and "Transform to Workplane".
Having activated a particular workplane, transform an STL model to the world, export an STL model, transform back to workplane.

I have been using Powermill since the 90's and I have never once used those two icons in the bottom right corner of the transform form. Thanks for you help, that will do what I need. Learn something new every day....
