Saving step model, having to press cancel many times

Jyrki Luumi Aug 24, 2017 8:18 AM

Hi,

In SW 2014 it was very straightforward to save an assembly as a .STEP model. However now that our company switched to SW 2017 I get prompted to save referenced documents after the initial assembly has been saved. If the assembly is large I sometimes have to click away 20-30 times in order to get rid of the prompts. What has changed from 2014 version that causes this. Has anyone had the same issue and found a solution?

  Wow, I could have sworn this is the right answer but I'm still getting those prompts after ticking that option off.

Hi Jyrki,

If you are opening up assemblies that were last saved in 2014 they are now an older version file when being open in 2017, this means they need to be saved to convert them to the new version hence the prompt. If you wish for them to be saved as a 2017 version you should be able to select all referenced documents in the prompt and click save all.
