STL save as assembly

Hi Grendel, I've attached a plug-in which I think may help you.

To install it, copy the attached file SaveMultiSTL.js into the \commands sub-folder. That will a make a new command named SaveMultiSTL available, set up a shortcut key with SaveMultiSTL for the command name and then when you trigger it, it will prompt you for a filename and then output each object in your model out to a separate STL file with a number incremented on it.

So for example if you have 3 objects and you give it a filename of c:\files\file.stl it will generate 3 files in that folder named file1.stl, file2.stl and file3.stl

The only downside is that I thought you probably did not want the mesh options dialog to pop up for every separate object that is being saved, so it suppresses that and instead uses a hard coded setting of Angle = 5. You can edit that at the top of the file to change it to something else if you want.

I hope this will help out.
