Converting .dwf file to .stl

[Anonymous]

hey everyone i'm wondering what is the easiest way to convert this .dwg file I have to .stl? the exporting option doesn't seem to be working within AutoCad i'm not sure why :-S Advice?

[Anonymous]

In AutoCAD type EXPORT, the STL option will appear in the FILES OF TYPE.

Not with .DWF you can't

A lot of CAN'T today.

Hope you're not mad

The OP is confusing, its titled DWF but DWG is in the actual question.

Is the original question for exporting from DWF or DWG to STL?

[Patchy]

So far I see:

.obj to STL

.dwg to .stl

.dwf to stl

and I don't know anything about using Mac as OP does.

ya really just looking for this file to be converted or exported to .stl 

it was DWG not DXF.  Patchy could u try that for me, when I tried adjusting thickness i had no success

dwg, this file attached..sorry for the confusion

Using your file in Acad 2016 when attempting to export to .stl, Acad reports this; "Command: _EXPORT Select solids or watertight meshes: all 5261 found Select solids or watertight meshes: Selected objects must be solids or watertight meshes. 5261 objects removed from the selection set." So, something is wrong with the wireframe/mesh objects in this file. It will not export to .stl in this current condition. HTH

See if you can STLOUT using this .dwg

Supplied file does not have any solids or meshes.

Patchy, I get a bunch of the below errors when using your DWG.

Modeling Operation Error:
Inconsistent edge-face relationships.
The Boolean operation on solid and/or surface bodies failed.

[Patchy]

Doesn't sound right.

I listed them:

Could be 2008 I'm using?

Time to get new versions, I'm broke.

Maybe Autodesk has something free 3 years for Expert Elite

i got the same thing

[Anonymous]

I'm testing with AutoCAD 2016, with no luck on either DWG supplied.

[Anonymous]

original file was .obj but not viewable on autocad so I converted to .dfx to view in autocad

[Anonymous]

Then the issue is probably with the conversion from OBJ to DXF.

What application did you use?

i used meshlab software
