When the Export 3D as STL task is running, it will attempt to export the preview controls contents with the specified name to the specified target path.
If no preview control name has been specified, or the preview control name can't be resolved, then it will instead attempt to export the contents of the file at the specified source file path to the specified target path.
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Preview Control Name | Name of the 3D Preview control. |
| Source File Path | The path to the 3D file that will be imported.The path can be absolute or relative to the specifications folder. |
| Target File Path | The path to save the exported STL file to. The path can be absolute or relative to the specifications folder. |
| Scale | The export scale factor of the STL file.
This defaults to 1 when the Task is added. |
| Overwrite | TRUE to make the component overwrite the existing file (if one exists) regardless of the groups overwrite setting, FALSE to keep the existing file. |
By default, when exporting 3D as STL, DriveWorks will attempt to use the STL file name, to label the geometry name.
File Path
The path of the exported file.
