A free Fusion add-in I made to keep CAD and STL revisions matched locally

Wait 5 sec.

Hey everyone! 👋 A while back, I shared ZenExport, a tool I made for my Autodesk Fusion and 3D-printing workflow. I've been using it for quite a while with good results, and I've recently made some useful updates. 🛠️ ⌨️ CTRL + S → local CAD + STL revisions With ZenExport's Save interception enabled, press CTRL + S to export your active design into a fresh local revision. No need to repeat the F3D, STEP and individual-part STL exports manually after every change. ⌨️ CTRL + S │ 🏷️ Optional revision note │ 📁 MyProjectFolder/ │ ├── CAD/ │ └── v05_M6 holes/ │ └── F3D + STEP │ ├── Models/ │ └── v05_M6 holes/ │ └── STL files │ └── _Info/ └── v05_M6 holes/ └── Preview + reports Here's what you get: 💾 F3D + STEP snapshots — keep your editable Fusion archive and a STEP copy. 🖨️ Individual STLs — export visible solid bodies into separate files for slicing. 🔢 Automatic revisions — each ZenExport save gets a fresh number. 🏷️ Meaningful names — add descriptions like M6 holes, longer bracket, or better clearance. 📂 Remembered destination — choose your project folder initially; subsequent saves reuse it. 📸 Viewport preview — quickly recognize the design in each revision. Prefer fewer prompts? Turn off the optional description prompt and CTRL + S creates numbered revisions without asking for a description. ⚡ The recent updates improve folder organization, recovery of older project destinations, and reporting when an export fails. 🎁 Free and open source — a small gift from me to fellow makers. 👉 Source, download and installation: https://github.com/EsKay-Labs/ZenExport ℹ️ With interception enabled, CTRL + S runs ZenExport's local exports instead of Fusion's native/cloud save. You can disable interception in settings. The latest 6.1.1 update is a preview while exported-file recovery checks are completed; keep your normal backups. STLs use native component coordinates. I used AI assistance for the recent refactor and tests. Hey everyone! 👋 A while back, I shared ZenExport, a tool I made for my Autodesk Fusion and 3D-printing workflow.
