STL2CAD 2007

STL2CAD 2007, developed by STEFISKO, stands out in the Photo & Graphics software category for its powerful capabilities in the 3D Design subcategory. The program, now in its latest version 1.11, provides a comprehensive solution for importing STL files (Stereo Lithography) into AutoCAD drawings. Designed to be compatible with AutoCAD 2007, 2008, and 2009, STL2CAD 2007 can import STL files and create various entities such as lines, points, faces, polyface mesh, and 3D solid drawings.

One of the key features of this application is its versatility in importing STL files. It supports both ASCII and binary STL formats, automatically detecting the type of file being imported. Users can even import files with more than a million triangles, ensuring the program can handle complex models with ease. The software leverages advanced AutoCAD ObjectARX technology to ensure smooth and efficient STL file import.

The program also remembers the folder location of the last STL import, a handy feature for those working on multiple projects. Additionally, using it in conjunction with STL4CAD 2007 add-on, any 3D entity can be converted into a 3D solid object, expanding the possibilities for users.

Before the latest version 1.11, there were other iterations such as 1.9, 1.8, and 1.1, each improving upon the last. The continuous development by STEFISKO highlights their commitment to providing a reliable and efficient tool for 3D design professionals.

Pros:

• Free download available for users.
• Strong compatibility with multiple versions of AutoCAD (2007, 2008, 2009).
• Supports both ASCII and binary STL files automatically.
• Can handle STL files with a large number of triangles.
• Remembers the folder location of the last STL import.
• Works well with STL4CAD 2007 for converting 3D entities to solid objects.

Cons:

• Limited to AutoCAD 2007, 2008, and 2009.
• Only useful for users needing specific import capabilities for STL files.

Overall, STL2CAD 2007 is a robust tool for anyone looking to import STL files into their AutoCAD projects. The ability to download the software for free makes it an accessible and valuable tool for designers and engineers working in the realm of 3D Design.
