==Description== <!--T:2-->

<!--T:3-->
This macro provides a convenient way to export selected FreeCAD objects to multiple file formats at once. Instead of exporting to each format individually, you can select all desired formats in a single dialog and export them simultaneously.

<!--T:4-->
'''Supported Export Formats:'''
* STL - Stereolithography (common for 3D printing)
* STEP - Standard for Exchange of Product Data (CAD interchange)
* 3MF - 3D Manufacturing Format (modern 3D printing format)
* OBJ - Wavefront OBJ (3D graphics and game engines)
* IGES - Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (legacy CAD format)
* BREP - OpenCASCADE native format (preserves exact geometry)
* PLY - Polygon File Format (3D scanning and printing)
* AMF - Additive Manufacturing Format (XML-based 3D printing)

<!--T:5-->
'''Features:'''
* Export to multiple formats in a single operation
* User-friendly dialog for format selection
* Configurable output directory and base filename
* Mesh tolerance settings for STL/OBJ/PLY/3MF/AMF exports
* Preview of files to be created
* Quick select buttons: "Select All", "Select None", "Reset Defaults"
* Default formats: STL, STEP, and 3MF are pre-selected

==Usage== <!--T:6-->

<!--T:7-->
# Select one or more objects in the 3D view that you want to export
# Run the macro from '''Macro → Macros → MultiExport → Execute'''
# In the dialog:
#* Review the selected objects in the "Objects to Export" section
#* Check the formats you want to export to (STL, STEP, 3MF are selected by default)
#* Choose an output directory using the "Browse..." button
#* Enter a base filename (the format extension will be appended automatically)
#* Optionally adjust mesh tolerance settings for mesh-based formats
# Click "Export" to create the files

==Requirements== <!--T:8-->

<!--T:9-->
* FreeCAD 0.21 or later
* Objects with solid shapes (Part or PartDesign bodies)

==Installation== <!--T:10-->

<!--T:11-->
# Download the macro file: [[Media:MultiExport.FCMacro|MultiExport.FCMacro]]
# Copy the file to your FreeCAD macro directory:
#* '''macOS''': {{FileName|~/Library/Application Support/FreeCAD/Macro/}}
#* '''Linux''': {{FileName|~/.local/share/FreeCAD/Macro/}}
#* '''Windows''': {{FileName|%APPDATA%/FreeCAD/Macro/}}
# Optionally, download the toolbar icon and place it in the same directory
