GAMBIT - exporting geometry in IGES or STEP format on the Windows platform does not produce an output file


On the Windows platform, exporting geometry from GAMBIT in IGES or STEP format failed to produce an output file. In the transcript window, GAMBIT prints messages indicating that entities were written to the specified format. A file search failed to locate the file. However, if an export to ACIS format (*.sat file) is attempted, the output file is correctly written out.
The path to the output file turned out to be the culprit. The default path has "Documents and Settings" with spaces in the name of the folder. This causes the writing of the output file to fail with IGES and STEP formats. But the ACIS (.sat) format seems to work fine.

The workaround is to write the output file to a folder (and path) that does not have any spaces in the name.
