... and yet you were getting matches, then my guess is you either selected a different TM to the one you think you were working with (apologies, but I have seen this happen) or you created a Project TM when you created your Project. If you did the latter then you will find there is also a TM within the Project files folder and this will contain only the segments for your Project, plus any that would have been relevant from your Main TM if you had one.

So you would locate that TM and then open it in the Translation Memories View. Once open you right-click and select export (or use the export icon on the ribbon).

Another way to do this is to convert your sdlxliff (Studio bilingual file) directly to TMX using an openexchange application. This one would do the job nicely:

I also recorded a 2 minute video to show how to do this the other day : [url removed]

Hope this helps you?
