==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
