Can't figure out what's going on. When I try to save as another file type, it acts like it's processing but then there's no file to be found.

is it a part or an assembly....are you saving just outside surfaces or the whole thing?
check the options tab on the save as window..
correction, it will export as xt but not stp or igs. This applies to parts and assemblies
u check you add inns
and the options for the save as?
SW 2015 doesn't have export in the options menu, where else would it be?

To get to import options:
To get to export option:
Do the exact same thing, except with "save as.." instead of "open".
my guess is the DLL for the translator is hosed....suggest you shut everything down... reboot...(parallels could also be hosed?)
I've restarted the computer to no avail, are you suggesting to reinstall Parallels and SW?
Sally,.. I'm suggesting something has gone wrong with the STEP translator DLL.. it could not be registered, the registry is messed up.. so, if you reboot, it may register/run?
If the registry is hose.. you may need to reset it,.. very easy to do.. search for resetting registry or this link..
Resetting the SOLIDWORKS registry
As for Parallels,.. it's a virtual system so.. if you have not already,.. it may need to reboot as well?
Paul, you're a hero! Totally fixed, thanks so much
Good to hear you got it to work. Please mark Paul's (yes we noticed the new avatar) answer correct...

Hey Sally... so... what worked or what happened,.. what fixed it?
right, i guess I should clarify that resetting the registry was what fixed my import/export issue
Hi Paul - I am having the same issue with importing and exporting stp and igs files. I reset the registry again and it didn't fix it! Restarting my computer and parallels as well. I did install a windows update today, not sure if that could affect it?
