STL to STP file post OCT 1

[Anonymous]

Hi all! I was wondering what the process for changing a STL file to STP file. If that can be done. My Google foo keeps producing instruction from 2019. There is a Mesh to BREP but can't find the Mesh button in Modifiy section. Anyways maybe a link to a current instruction. So what I have tried was inserting MESH in to F360 then exporting it as a STP file to desktop. Which it does, but F360 its fails to Upload it as a step file I get a error. It doesn't complete the Upload it status "Failed " and leaves a translation report. Which doesn't make sense to me. So maybe can't be done on free license I Have. Thanks! Corey

Ok thanks! That worked problem was that every time I used the "Insert Mesh" in the  drop down there would be no "Mesh" command in tool bar. When you use the "Open" in the file menu like video then it would produce the "Mesh" command in the tool bar. So I was using the Command on the tool bar even after I saw the video. It took me acouple of try's but thanks for the help. Corey
