Hi,I have a large STL model (approx 15 mb) from a 3D scanning of an item.I would like to convert this into an autocad-usable format. Since this is a one-time thing, I would like to avoid buying anything if possible.Any ideas?Thanks.-qabi

That's odd. It says it will accept a file size up to 20mb.What does the error say?You can download a trial version of Sycode's stl import for Autocad plug-in. It's good for 10 days or 10 runs, so you can use it and then delete it. You can download it here: http://www.sycode.com/products/stl_import_ac/index.htm

Can you please send me the complaining file over e-mail or dropfile (zipped)?
Thanks (webmaster@xanadu.cz).

It seems to be some specific problem of the upload component. The supplied file converts fine on our test server - creating a hefty 99MB DXF file. We will look into this.

I see. Thanks.Any chance that you could dump the 99 DXF file somewhere? Like rapidshare, or such?-qabi
