STLOUT works only with solids and watertight meshes.
 
You can try to convert your imported mesh to solid with MESHSMOOTH and CONVTOSOLID - see http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=5117 but the process fails quite often.

I signed up for this forum so I could use STL2DWG to edit a STL file in Autocad 2011, then convert it back to STL. I spent hours editing a file and to my horror you can't convert back to STL with STLOUT!

Basically tried CONVTOSURFACE, didn't work. Tried MESHSMOOTH, didn't work.
 Neither will create a 3d solid or a "watertight" mesh needed to convert back to STL.

Is there anything that is KNOWN to work?
