Export objects with colors

Hi,

I plotted some obejects filled with different color in AutoCAD2016. But when I exported them as .stl, they were all in the same color. How could I change this?

Hi,

 

STL is a format that only transports geometry, no color, no texture (>>>details<<<).

If you need color you'll need to use a different file format.

Thanks Alfred!
Could I ask what format includes both color and geometry?

Hi,

 

>> Could I ask what format includes both color and geometry?

In case the geometry is done/created by AutoCAD I would first say DWG or DXF, you might also look to command _EXPORT and look to the filetypes you can see here. At least it depends also on the software that should read these files.
