AutoDesk is a company; Inventor is just one of the programs (software) they are responsible for.

I not sure what tool you used to convert but this happenswith some tools. Try Inventor Fusion 2013 R1 free from Autodesk. You open thefile with Inventor Fusion then save as to change it to dwg, dxf, dwf, or anarray of other formats.]]> Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:19:55 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=9858&PID=25483&title=stl-conversion-to-dwg#25483 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=9858&PID=25340&title=stl-conversion-to-dwg#25340 Author: clare8200

Hi,
Working on Autocad Mechanical 2013. I'm an inventor designing parts for my 3d printer, all works well except:
 
I've just used the utility here to convert some stl files to a dfx format. The converted files open, however instead of a closed object such as a gear being one part, it's over 2480 parts! Every faucet on the surface is a separate part.

With my limited knowledge in AutoCad concepts I've tried everything to convert these parts into usable objects but nothing seems to work. If I select the parts and "convert to solid" I get a notification that these parts can't be converted.

How would one combine all the thousands of parts that result when doing an stl conversion into simpler more usable objects? 

Thanks in advance if anyone here could share some insight.
