Thank you for replying,  I have just tried this but when I go to select the mesh nothing happens,
is there any other way to do this? 

Thanks

Hi there, my name is Jake im new to this.

I currently have a stl file that was made on solid edge (not by me) but I want to be able to edit it on inventor, I have been able to load it into inventor but i cannot edit the file due to it still being in a mesh state <if that's the right way to describe it 

I would like to be able to have it in ipt format 

Is there anyway this can be done? I have searched on the internet for many hours with no luck, any insight to this would be very much appreciated

Thanks

Jake
