Select a location to save the file in the Location box:


Target selected	Action in the Location box
File on disk	You can browse, and select the path to write the file (to the disk), or enter the path manually. If the manually entered directory does not exist, a warning appears.
Exchange space	The content is exported either in a project space, or a team workspace. The directory browser displays the existing project spaces, and team workspaces. You can use the embedded internal browser to select the project or workspace, and navigate on the sub folders. You can select one or more folders.
3D Drive	The location field lets you select the folder where 3DXML files and other formats are uploaded to 3D Drive. The Location field is updated with the last 3D Drive folder you connected to in the session, or is empty if you are using 3D Drive for the first time. Click next to the Location field or use the embedded browser to navigate and select a 3D Drive folder. Using the toolbar in the browser, you can create a new folder, and delete it. You can also rename this new folder using the context menu. Note: If you create several folders in the browser, only the folder used as the location for the export will be created and uploaded.
Collaborative space	If you select the Collaborative space target, the Location field will be disabled.

In the Options section, click the Report tab.

If you select the target File on Disk., you can choose a location to save the report,
If you select the target 3D Drive, the report is not uploaded to the 3D Drive folder.
