Hello

It seems to me that you have to activate the Scanto3d add-on then first save in STL then open the stl and save it in obj.

Hello

This is a feature of SolidWorks Premium only (the most expensive version with Simulation), you need to activate the ScanTo3D add-in.

Without this add-in it's possible with this macro:

But some people have had problems making it work.

Finally, we can perhaps imagine using intermediate software such as FreeCAD.

Edit:

See also this tutorial where he uses Meshlab, but other people in the answers below suggest other software :

Or even online converters:
