Purpose
To output objects from the current datastore in the prescribed file format.
Syntax
EXPORT ( SAT ! FACE < /VERTEX > ! XML < /REFLECT > ! LINES ) $F
Description
The SAT option will output either the entire contents of the current datastore or a list of specified objects, in ACIS V7.0 SAT file format.
The Face option will output the polygon points of a face, selected via the cursor, to a file. The face is indicated by selecting within its boundaries or optionally by picking three vertices.

The Lines option specifies that a Initial Design Lines datastore ".BLINES" is to be exported.
