You can select blocks or external references (xrefs) that contain 3D solids and
watertight meshes. However, only 3D solids and watertight meshes within
selected blocks or xrefs are included in the STL file. Other objects are not
included when you save the STL file.
You can modify the dimensions of the bounding box and specify the scale of
3D solids and watertight meshes within the bounding box. If you modify this
option, the proportions of these objects are unaffected.
You can modify the following options. All of these options are based on one
another. If you modify one, the others are automatically adjusted.
Scale
Specifies the scale of selected 3D objects within the bounding box.
Length (X)
Specifies the X dimension of the model bounding box.
Width (Y)
Specifies the Y dimension of the model bounding box.
Height (Z)
Specifies the Z dimension of the model bounding box.
Output Preview
Provides a dynamic preview of selected 3D solids and watertight meshes. If
you modify output dimensions, the output preview remains unaffected.
Zoom Extents
Sets the display so that the image fits within the preview window. This dialog
box is resizeable. If desired, you can enlarge the preview.
Pan
Moves the image horizontally and vertically within the preview window. You
can also pan by holding down the scroll wheel of your mouse as you move
the mouse.
Zoom
Changes the magnification of the preview. To zoom in or out, select this
button, then hold the left mouse button and drag upwards or downwards.
You can also roll the mouse scroll wheel to zoom or out at any time.
