check now i understand what you meant. Thanks for the explanation

Would be nice if they accepted FCStd files directly. In the Macro i didn't see anything that i relate to fileformats / exports... On their own website they support "IGES, PRT, STEP, STP, X_T, SLDPRT, STL, RAR or ZIP files." If FCStd would be added to that list would be great! To go off to...
