Saving Build
Trays
YoucansaveyourworkindifferentObjetStudiofileformats,dependingon
howyouwanttousethemlater.
OBJTFFiles
objtffilescontaininstructionstoObjetStudioandtoObjet1000Plusprinters
fordisplayingandproducingthestlfilesusedonthetray.Whenyousave
buildtraysinObjetStudio,theyaresavedasobjtffiles.
Savinginobjtfformatisuseful,forexample,ifyouhavenotfinished
preparingthetrayforprinting,orifyouwanttomakechangesbefore
printingitagaininthefuture.objtffilesarealsousefulwhenworkingfrom
yourcompany'snetwork,wheretheSTLfilesarestored.
Note:Becausetheobjtffilereferencesthestlfilesused,theymustremaininthe
samefilelocationaswhentheobjtffilewassaved.
Tosavethetrayasanobjtffile:
➢ IntheTray Settingstab,Filegroup,click .
Toopentrayssavedasobjtffiles,see"OpeningObjetTrayFiles"onpage5-16.

compressesthemintooneobjzffile.Tolaterusetheobjzffile,thefilemust
firstbeexpandedinObjetStudioanditscomponentfilessaved.
