Question on creating a .STL file from two solids in AutoCAD 2009

Question on creating a .STL file from two solids in AutoCAD 2009

Anonymous

Sorry for going back to 2009.  I've retrieved my AutoCAD 2009 and want to create an .STL file with 2 solids.  The response when I select the 2 solids is "Only one solid per file permitted."  I'm trying to export these into a thermodynamic software to test them together.

 

Can anyone provide direction?

 

Again, my apologies for the throwback to 2009.  Also, if there is another forum that I need to be on please let me know.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

run command _UNION to create one solid from them, then again start export.

...or use the attached STL (which contains 3 solids from your drawing (there were not just 2)

Thank you.  I was trying to create 2 distinct components within the .stl file, rather than have them as a single entity.  Is this possible?  The Union command makes them a single entity.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

>> I was trying to create 2 distinct components

I don't have AutoCAD 2008 accessible now, so please find the STL created from your DWG with a newer version of AutoCAD.

A question could be: why not creating 2 STL-files if you need to seperated entities?

Thank you again.  It is for two separate materials with different properties for a mechanical simulation.  As they are distinct materials it is necessary to be able to identify each separately.

 

Thanks
