Please follow below procedure.

1. Open Dwg file first

2. Click File--> Export (or) Directly Click A Symbol (autocad symbol) and Click Export

3. Choose other format option

Now select Required file type ( in Files of type section )

Then click Save and select object

as mentioned ... EXPORT command has the ability for converting dwg files to stl .

Hi,

STL needs watertight volumes (3D-Solids or Meshes), your file only contains surfaces and so that geometry can't be used to be exported to an STL file.

When you start command _EXPORT, after you defined the filename, the command asks for selecting objects. With your geometry you see then:

The only 3D-Solid you have is the top object, but even that has a thickness of 0, so not a volume.

You need to convert your object to a 3D-Solid, then run command _EXPORT with that object.

How cab i turn it into solid

Hi,

run the _LOFT command again with your splines, but either use the _LOFT command from "SOLID" ribbon or make sure to set the option _MODE to "Solid" at the start of the command.
