Mesh body conversion failure

It seems like the only thing I can do with a mesh body is to select it. Conversion to TSpline fails. Measuring holes or features fails. CAM fails to recognize it.

Convert to T-Spline and CAM are pretty widely distinct workflows.

What is your intention?

Can you send me the file?

One option is to go to Create > Create Base Feature, then Modify > Mesh > Mesh to Brep. Then choose Finish Base Feature. This will create a solid from the mesh (provided not more than about 10,000 faces), which CAM will recognize.

If you can bring the part in as some CAD format file, so that don't have to go through mesh conversions, that would obviously be a lot better.

Thanks, converting to Brep worked for me. Basically I needed to bring this file into Fusion 360 in order to get accurate measurements from it. It is the only thing from the manufacturer/distributor that has mounting dimensions for a particular LCD panel. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:655776
