Export Workplane to file. :param path: Filename. :param tolerance: the deflection tolerance, in model units. Default 0.1. :param angularTolerance: the angular tolerance, in radians. Default 0.1. :param unit: The internal unit of the model's geometry values.

        Use this when you want the output file to declare a different unit than the model's internal unit,
        for example to export a MM model as a STEP file declaring meters.

        :param opt: additional options passed to the specific exporter. Default None.
