Problems with SimMechanics Link, no export option in Solidworks.

I've recently installed SimMechanics to import a Solidworks file into my Simulink code. After following the installation instructions online, I still cannot export my Solidworks assembly since the export option is not available from the SimMechanics link toolbar.

I've attached a screenshot of what I'm describing. http://imgur.com/GavlZ29

Any word on how to fix it?

Thanks.

You need to make sure you follow these instructions carefully.

The one step I often see users overlook is enabling the plugin in SolidWorks.
