how to open STL or STEP file in AutoCAD

 my colleague used other apps to draw some files for me in STL and STEP format. 

However, i found autocad for mac can only open DWG, DXF, DST and DWT now, although files can be exported as STL or STEP. Is there a way to transfer STL or StEp into any AutoCAD readable format?

Thanks

Hi @maxim_k 

 

Thanks for the link. Mine is also one time use. Can you transfer these 2 files to DWG files for me? Many thanks.

Correct the highlighted errors and try again.

The attachment's 1) leo cell - third draft.step content type (application/octet-stream) does not match its file extension and has been removed.

Create ZIP archive with STEP file and you will be able to attach this archive here.
