Summary0003680: Export (Ctrl+E) doesn't check to make sure that object being exported is a model at all
DescriptionForum Thread

When exporting an object, such as a Spreadsheet, with Ctrl+E, the exporter doesn't check that the thing being exported is reasonable. For example, when exporting the aforementioned spreadsheet, no errors are thrown and the exported file is nearly blank. This results in user confusion when they, for example, spend a few minutes wondering why their exported .stl is blank because they were highlighting the wrong thing.

The contents of the aforementioned STL:

(raw)

Attached is the weird stl itself if you want to look at it
Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create a new document and a blank spreadsheet
  2. Select the spreadsheet on the "Labels and Attributes" window
  3. Press Ctrl+E to export
  4. Select STL
  5. Watch as a mysteriously small STL is created silently
