Std Export/de

Description
This is the standard command to export objects inside a FreeCAD document to other file formats. A selection must be made before launching the command.

How to use

 * 1) Select objects to export, either in the Model tree or in the 3D view using box selection.
 * 2) Go to File → Export
 * 3) Select the file type
 * 4) Type a name
 * 5) Press the  button.

For supported file types, see Import Export.

Options
Options for some file formats can be defined in Edit → Preferences → Import-Export.

Tips and limitations

 * When exporting a single part, you should usually select only the last object at the bottom of the Model tree.
 * On some Linux systems for packages built independently from the FreeCAD project, it may be necessary to manually type the file extension.
 * A mesh object cannot be directly exported to a CAD format (STEP, IGES, BREP). It must be converted to a shape and/or a solid first, see the Import from STL or OBJ tutorial.
