How do I import or save a file in DS Mechanical?

DesignSpark Mechanical
  • Updated

Click on 'FILE' on the top left side of the ribbon menu. Use OPEN or SAVE to import & export design files respectively.

                                                 
You can also find file export options under the DESIGN tab like 3D PDFs, STL and DXF.

If you're having trouble accessing certain file formats from this list with DSM 4.0 and up, make sure you have the translators program installed. You can verify this by going to Windows Control Panel -> Programs and Features and look for ‘SpaceClaim Translators 19.1’.

    The DXF export works on my DesignSpark 4.0 (build 12131), but 3D-PDF and STL only produce an error message 'An error occured while executing '3D print (*.STL)'

    What could be the cause of this error?

    You have to download and install the "spaceclaim translator" module, explained here:

    I can confirm it's free of viruses.
    Cough cough
