Hi,
 

I need to save a drawing as .sat , however I am receiving this error;
 
�Command: acisout
Select objects: 1 found
Select objects:
No solids, regions or ACIS bodies selected.�
 
From what I can understand this is due to the fact that this drawing is in the form of a 3D wire frame (I�m not sure if this is the right term to use in AutoCAD).
 
Thank you in Advance
Darren.

To save as .sat, you need to use the export option in files menu, select the ACIS format, and then select the solid in your drawing.The objects to be selected must be solids or regions.You can also use the command ACISOUT at the command prompt.

First of all thank you for your replies.
 
I was told to use a program called Mesh to Solid --> this program is able to convert wire frames to solids.
