I have created a model in RS, and I want to end it to my colleague, that uses Inventor. But when I export it as a sat or STL, if only export the shell and not the actual geometry. because of this, he is not able to use the models I have made. Does anyone have a solution for this ---

Hi There is a Robot App in the Add-Ins tab of RS that may be useful to you. Its called “Export Geometries Add-In 6.01”. Hopefully it will work for your version of RS as I haven’t tried it. ---

STL is a pure graphics (triangles) format and contains no CAD information. SAT should work if the Inventor importer supports it properly.
