Re: Need to export in a Step file but mates are gone from assembly
Jodi,
Take a look at this thread. It has a macro that reestablishes the mates.
But understand that step files are nothing more the dumb solids.

Save as part file, e-drawing or 3dpdf and send if they just need to view it.

You are doing nothing wrong. Mates are not exported when translating data into the neutral formats such as step. That is how the translators work.
Cheers,

If they only need the exterior shape as an interface, try saving the assy as a part using the Exterior Faces option, then resave that as a SAT or STEP file.
