+  <b>Automatically create groups</b> check-box specifies whether to

+  "Group_On_All_Faces", etc. A default state of this check-box can be
+  set in \ref export_auto_groups_pref "Preferences". </li>
+  <li><b>Automatically define space dimension</b> check-box specifies
+  whether to define space dimension for export by mesh configuration
+  or not. Usually the mesh is exported as a mesh in 3D space, just as
+  it is in Mesh module. The mesh can be exported as a mesh of a lower
+  dimension in the following cases, provided that this check-box is checked:
+    <ul>
+      <li> <b>1D</b>: if all mesh nodes lie on OX coordinate axis. </li>
