Export to OBJ Parameters dialog box

Use the Export to .OBJ Parameters dialog box to select the output format when writing and converting a Mastercam part file (solids, surfaces, meshes, and wireframe) to an .OBJ file format. When exporting to an .OBJ file, a .MTL file is also created. The .MTL file contains color and material information for the .OBJ file to refer to.

NOTE

You can set default parameters for conversions to and from Mastercam files and other formats in the Converters page of the System Configuration dialog box.
