Export Objects dialog box

Enables you to specify which derivable objects to mark for export. Objects must be marked for export in order for them to be derived. This optimizes the update process, requesting changes to referencing documents on a per-object, rather than per-file basis.

Access:

Ribbon: Manage tab Author panel Export Objects

Status

Provides the following commands, enabling you to change the status on multiple selected objects at the same time.

Marks the selected objects for export.

Excludes the selected objects from export.

Symbols

Indicates whether the object is marked for export. Either click the icon next to an individual object and toggle the status, or select multiple objects and click a status button at the top of the dialog box. An arrow symbol superimposed on the item icon identifies an exported object.

Solid Body

When exported, the solid body can be derived.

Note: It is one object that is, by default and regardless of its export state, implicitly marked for derive when a derive feature is created. If you turn off export with the Export Objects command, any derive that references the solid body enters the Design Doctor.

Sketches

When selected, any unconsumed visible 2D or 3D sketches in the component are exported and can be derived.

Work Geometry

When selected, any visible work features in the component are exported and can be derived.

Surfaces

When selected, any visible surfaces in the component are exported and can be derived.

Parameters

When selected, any parameters in the source assembly are exported and can be derived. The Parameters folder includes a subfolder that contains folders from the Parameters dialog box. The Parameters and Export Objects dialog boxes share the same parameter statuses.

iMates

When selected, any iMates defined in the source assembly are exported and can be derived.
