Hi,
I’m trying to export a .stp file that includes both optical components and beams for the opto-mechanical design. However, despite trying different settings a few times, I still haven’t been able to include the beams. The layout is shown below.
Has anyone had experience with this or suggestions on how to resolve the issue?

Hi Shaojie,
The following articles talk about how to make sure you can view rays in a CAD environment:
How to show exported rays in the CAD platform – Knowledgebase (zemax.com)

Hi Shaoje,
Could you please check if the Parasolid libraries are enabled in the general settings? You can navigate to this section by following this path: OpticStudio Preferences -> General -> tick ‘Use Parasolid Library’."
Hi Shaojie,
MichaelH gave a good tutorial links about how to export STEP file out.
However, that is not working well in Solidworks. Please follow this Youtube video:

I followed the setting shown in the video, and it worked! Thanks!
