Re: How to save/export only selected parts
Select all the parts you do not want to export, right click and select HIDE. Now do a saveas parasolid/IGES. You'll get a prompt to show/unsuppress the hidden or suppressed parts. Simply say no and you've exported selected parts

Re: How to save/export only selected parts
Hi everybody,
1. With all the parts shown in your assembly, select the ones you want to export (Ctrl+click).
2. Do right click on any selected part of the tree and invert selection.
3. Right click again on a selected part and hide.
4. Save as Parasolid, IGES or STEP (It should work with other formats but I have not tried).
5. Say NO to "One or more components are hidden or suppressed. Do you want to resolve them?"
I hope it helps...

Make sure the components in the assembly are not lightweight and then try again.

Seems like the option to export selected components works only when exporting STEP/IGES and not with others
Not sure if this is a bug but still report to your reseller/VAR.
And also check by exporting STEP for selected components.
