I use MOI mostly for 3d printing projects - and i love it!
Just want to share a little but usefull script i wrote to export different parts of my drawing to the slicer.

Install it to your command folder -> EDIT THE PATH TO YOUR FAVOURITE FOLDER in the ExportParts.js -> make a shortcut (Cmd-E ExportParts)-> make sure that the parts you like to export have a unique name -> select them -> hit Cmd-E -> select the export format -> Okay -> check the settings for each part and you will find the exported files in your favourit folder.

THX to the community and Michael for having MOI (cant wait for V4 :-)

Hi r2d3, Michael

very useful script for assemblies too. Is it possible to rewrite this script, so that I can chose other format (STEP, IGES, ...)?
It would be perfect to find standard Export dialog window after selecting parts and run the script, where it can be chose save location and format.

Thanks
Mik

Hi Mik,

The problem here is the standard Export dialog window is focused on picking a file name. But this script doesn't write to a single file name, it uses object names as the file names. So if the standard Export dialog was to be shown, the name you entered in there would not actually be used.

For additional formats, I think if you modify the list in ExportParts.htm it should work. It currently has this:

	<option value=".3dm">3dm</option>
	<option value=".stl">stl</option>
	<option value=".obj">obj</option>

Try adding to that list like if you want STEP and IGES formats put it in like this:

	<option value=".3dm">3dm</option>
	<option value=".stl">stl</option>
	<option value=".obj">obj</option>
	<option value=".stp">STEP</option>
	<option value=".igs">IGES</option>
