Topic: xyzware

Hello,  I am new to 3D printing and recently got a Da Vinci 1.0  I love this printer.  I use Autodesk fusion to do designs for customers, but now when I save a file as .stl for customers it automatically converts it to xyzware.  How do I stop this, any suggestions?  Thanks in advance

Re: xyzware

its not converting it to XYZware, its just the file association for .stl files on your machine, once you have sent the file to your customer it should show as an .stl, or as whatever the file association is for their machine.
the file is still a .stl file.
if you look in folder options in the view tab, you should be able to uncheck the 'hide extensions for known file types' and you will see they are still .stl files
