Of course, thank You for helping!

Sorry, I lost track of this post. Here is the best I could do. I had to bring the geometry closer to WCS origin to process. The replacement may be a bit off.

hello!

i have a problem with exporting stl. some of solids are missing and i'm not sure why, because they are same solid copied number of times.

original solid was made with open polyline and revolved (360) and it looks like pin.

there is a dwg in attachment (i can't attach stl, but some of those pins beneath balls are missing).

thank you!

I only have AutoCAD 2012 to test, and it seemed to convert the model to STL well enough. Here is what came of the process:

thank you seant!
yes, your stl is fine. i have 2010 and i try to export separately just one ball and one pin and same problem occur, pin is missing.

now either ac 2010 is having a problem with revolved open polyline or i have a problem with setting and exporting stl (but 3DPRINT command is pretty easy to use).

Revolve of an open polyline is not a solid. Stlout works on solids.

now i see in help that revolved open polyline is a surface and closed is solid (i try that and it works). properties show revolved open polyline as 3d solid so i believed in this info. another question that i have is why some other pins are exported in stl (as i said before, they are copies from origin) or why seant could export file (without errors) in one piece with 2012?

thank you very much for answers.

HI!
I tried to export your file as stl and everything looks good.

I have solved part of a problem..
If I scale my solid and export it, my stl file is looking smooth in another program.
But I lost my dimensions.. what is very important because solid is representing a relief.
In drawing settings: drawing units are feet and scale 1"=40', but my model is in the meters.
If I change my units to meters, I do not know how to scale my drawing to keep my points at same location, is it possible at all?

I got my base drawing from someone else, so I think that he did not care about units and he just drew it in meters. It is like my starting template and I need to do this scaling in relation to it. But my object (solid) is representing a piece of a relief placed in appropriate coordinate system...so if I do the scaling of my object, this coordinate system remains the same and my object just "grows" in it. Is there a way to scale both of them?
This relations are important because I am exporting that solid/stl file in another program.
