STL File Save As Options dialog box

Provides options specifically for STL files that you select for the Export task.

Access:
	In the Export Files task dialog box, select a part file you have listed for export. In the Output File Name Column, Click . In the Save As dialog box, in Save As Type, select the file extension for a .stl file. Click Save. In the Export Files dialog box, select the .stl file to export, and click Options.

Format
Binary	Applies the binary file format to the exported file. (default)
ASCII	Applies the ASCII file format to the exported file.
Units	Specifies the units to apply to the exported file. Select from: inch foot centimeter (default) millimeter meter micron
Structure	Specifies whether to explode a file into separate parts, which results in multiple export files: One File One File Per Part Instance Creates a separate file for each component included in the export. Retains origin relationships from the assembly file. Not available for a part file. One File Per Selection Creates a separate file for each solid body or component you select. In assemblies, includes only the parent file in a selection. Not available for assemblies if you select All Visible in the Send to 3D Print Service dialog box. Available for parts only when Selected is selected.

Resolution	Controls resolution to use for exporting the model. Sets preset percentage values for sliders in options that control tessellation for the exported file. High Specifies parameters use the high preset percentage values. For Surface Deviation, Max Edge Length, or Aspect Ratio, selection clears if values change. Medium Specifies parameters use the medium preset percentage values. (default) Low Specifies parameters use the low preset percentage values. Custom Specifies user-defined values. The initial preset percentage values are the same as for Medium. Note: A tolerance setting that is too tight can result in excessive facets and depletion of memory. In this case, the operation can fail.
Surface Deviation	Controls the maximum distance between the facet edges and the surface edges. Specifies the surface deviation parameter to use for tessellation. If you adjust the slider, the resolution changes to Custom.
Normal Deviation	Controls the maximum angle between the normal vectors of the facets. Specifies the normal deviation parameter to use for tessellation. If you adjust the slider, the resolution changes to Custom.
Max Edge Length	Defines the maximum distance between the grid lines that are placed on the face during the tessellation process. Specifies the maximum edge length parameter to use for tessellation. If you adjust the slider, the resolution changes to Custom.
Aspect Ratio	Controls the ratio between the height and width of the facets. Specifies the aspect ratio parameter to use for tessellation. If you adjust the slider, the resolution changes to Custom.
