It might be that you're running a limited version of SW?
Or I know that you can't stl a file if its not a solid body (i.e. a surface model), but I think it will still give you the stl option in the save as menu.
for saving as stl you have an option box. in the option menu you have 2 choose: Binary & ASCII
change the out put as:
if it's Binary select ASCII and if it's ASCII opt Binary.
it's must work then.
Isn't the .stl format part of the export option?
thanks for the help guys but its still not working, ill add a print screen to what i see in the save box
