mesh enabler for inventor

[Anonymous]

I downloaded Mesh Enabler for inventor, but it doesn't show up when I right click on a mesh.

Is there something I need to do to activate it in inventor?

Did you install it?

What version of Inventor?

Is it listed in Tools>Add-Ins in the Add-In Manager as Loaded?

Cool, that worked.  Inventor turned my stl into a Surface Bodies.  I created a sketch on the surface body and extruded it so now I have a Surface Bodies (from original stl) + a Solid Bodies (from my new extrusion).  Please let me know how to export both the Surface Bodies and the Solid Bodies as an stl(s).  My end game is to send the part to a 3d printer for printout.

You attached a bitmapped image rather than an Inventor *.ipt file.

I have no idea how to use Inventor to save an image file to *.stl format.
