STL Output for Makerbot

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
