Exporting to .stl file

[Anonymous]

hi everyone, i'm having issues exporting this file i've attached to an .stl file in autocad 2015 on my mac. I go to File-->Export and then select .stl format in the file menu however nothing seems to happen after I click ok. Does anyone know how to properly export the file ...i've attached it to this thread thanks

Only 3dSOLID will be STLOUT

why does it give me an option to export the file as .stl? I'm confused

[Patchy]

The option is always there, if the objects are not 3d then it will tell you.

What do you see in the command line after export to .STL?

this is what happens when I try to export to .stl

Command: _export 5261 found Selected objects must be solids or watertight meshes. 5261 objects removed from the selection set. Window Lasso Press Spacebar to cycle options5261 found

None of the 5261 objects were Solids.

Can you attach your *.dwg file here?  Maybe someone can fix it for you.

i don't get it, I modify mesh to convert image to smooth solid and still nothing : ( I don't know why this is so difficult to convert to .stl from autocad. very frustrating : ( Select solids or watertight meshes: 0 Specify opposite corner: *Cancel* 0 found Select solids or watertight meshes: *Cancel* Command: Mesh conversion set to: Smooth and optimized.

Send .obj to JD, he has all the knowledge with Inventor, he'll show you how to get .stl from that.

Zip it if you have to.

i think the .dwg file should be attached to this JD

[Anonymous]

i don't see the file attached in my response...trying it again

[Patchy]

File attaching here has size limit.

Zip it if Mac can do it.

[Anonymous]

it's only 233kb should be fine, did you see the file in my replies or no?

[Patchy]

There isn't any attachment.

Is this the button you used?

[Anonymous]

yup i've submitted my reply with attachment like right now and nothing seems to show...nothing going right today lol
