Mesh export fails for STEP assemblies #126

Closed hsd-dev closed 1 year ago

hsd-dev commented 2 years ago

System Information

SolidWorks version and service pack: 2021
Version of exporter: v1.6.1

Bug The export of URDF is working fine. But the export of meshes only works in case of SOLIDWORKS assembly but not in case of STEP files (AP 214 specifically, I have not tried with other versions). The STL files are completely empty.

Is this exporter meant only for SOLIDWORKS parts / assemblies?

Yes, this tool only exports STL files as STEP files are unrecognized by the ROS/Gazebo ecosystem.
