STL Output for Makerbot

jlucasemail — Sun, 22 Jan 2017 18:57:28 GMT

There are several separate objects in my drawing which will export as STL individually but if I select more than one object none are exported!

All are co-planer (Z=0 for the base), no overlap, positive X-Y coordinates. Since they export one at a time assume they are watertight.

Autocad does create an stl file nothing is imported to Makerbot

Thanks

Hi,

>> f I select more than one object none are exported

Please upload your drawing so we can test it on our workstations.

>> Autocad does create an stl file nothing is imported to Makerbot

Show us the STL file too, just to know if we can see objects.

Also necessary to know:

which version and service pack of AutoCAD do you use?
do other files work well with exporting?

Solved. I'm working in inches and a single object automatically uses 2540 scale but not multiple objects which are not visible. Have to manually set scale
