Dim oContext As TranslationContext
oContext = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext
Dim oOptions As NameValueMap
oOptions = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap

If oSTEPTranslator.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(ThisApplication.ActiveDocument, oContext, oOptions) Then
' Set application protocol.
' 2 = AP 203 - Configuration Controlled Design
' 3 = AP 214 - Automotive Design
oOptions.Value("ApplicationProtocolType") = 3
' Other options...
'oOptions.Value("Author") = ""
'oOptions.Value("Authorization") = ""
'oOptions.Value("Description") = ""
'oOptions.Value("Organization") = ""
oContext.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism
Dim oData As DataMedium
oData = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateDataMedium
oData.FileName = ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False) & ".stp"
oSTEPTranslator.SaveCopyAs(ThisApplication.ActiveDocument, oContext, oOptions, oData)
