  • The export feature for CS is absolutely horrible.  Altium is soooooo much better.  I find myself frustrated in most cases when I try to export files.  So instead of using the check boxes on the export feature, I create an *.OutJob file and edit that.  For example, I like to have both top and bottom sides of the board as 3D print but the export window only allows either the Top or the Bottom but not both.  So I create an export for the Top and save the *.OutJob file then I create an export for the bottom.  Then I merge both files into one using a text editor like Notepad++ and list them sequentially.  In the *.OutJob file there is a line for each output type called OutputEnabledX=Y where X is the number of the output and Y is 0 (False) or 1 (True).  So when I want to generate the output, instead of clicking on a checkbox in the export window, I edit the text file instead and then click "Generate".  It's a little cumbersome but that's the price you have to pay when you pay $1000 for CS instead of $8000 for Altium.  $1000 is still a lot.
