Hi Anton, that's great!

It would be fun to see some of the output that you're using it for! :)

I’m trying to create method to export a complex illustration\model as different parts\files for further processing and assembly in Adobe illustrator.

I will show you the result

Thanks again

Hey Michael,

How can I make ExportNamedObjectsToIndividualFiles work for STEP [(*.stp, *.step, *.stpz) (AP 203, AP 214, AP 242)] ,or SAT [(*.sat) (Up to 2020)] Files?
Also, my target app, Alibre Atom3D, accepts only one Solid per file.
This script will write out every object having an identical name to the same file.
Might it append a numeric incremental for each such duplicately named solid and thereby save it into its own separately named file?
Another problem is that it will write out a group, rather than just its individual constituent solids.
Also, might the user pick the output directory at runtime ?


Thanks,
MindSet

Hi MindSet,

Are you using the ExportNamedObjectsToIndividualFiles.js that was in this previous post? :

MoI will figure out what file type to write based on the file extension on the filename.

So to make it export STEP instead of FBX, go to line number 43 in the script which has this currently:

    var filename = g_dirname + name + '.fbx';

And change the .fbx to .stp like this:

    var filename = g_dirname + name + '.stp';

I've attached a version that should do that.

This should be fixed in the attached version also.

Sorry no that's not easy to do currently because there is not a directory picking UI set up for a script to use. I'll see what's involved in setting one up.
