Controls how Solid Edge documents will be saved in STEP format. STEP is an international standard which defines a neutral file format for representation of geometric, topological and annotation data. Solid Edge supports the STEP standards AP203 class II - class VI entities, AP214 class II - class VI entities, and assemblies.

Solid Bodies, Export To

Specifies how you want to export solid bodies to the STEP file.

Class II Wireframe

Specifies that you want to export the solid bodies to a class II wireframe.

Class IV Surface Models

Specifies that you want to export the solid bodies to a class IV surface model.

Class VI Manifold Solids

Specifies that you want to export the solid bodies to a class VI manifold solid.

Export

Specifies what types of construction geometry you want to export.

Export Solids (Constructions)

Specifies that you want to export any construction geometry that exists as solid bodies.

Export Sheets (Constructions)

Specifies that you want to export any construction geometry that exists as sheet bodies.

Export Wires (Constructions) and Generals

Specifies that you want to export any construction geometry that exists as wire bodies.

Tube Centerlines
