STL Import for AutoCAD is a Stereolithography (.stl) file import add-in for AutoCAD. This plug-in gives AutoCAD the ability to import geometric data from ASCII and Binary STL files.

STL Import for AutoCAD reads polygon mesh data stored in STL files and imports it into AutoCAD. A polygon mesh in a STL file is comprised of a set of triangular faces. STL Import for AutoCAD recreates the STL model data inside the active AutoCAD drawing. The model can be recreated as set of points, lines, polylines, 3D faces or a polyface mesh.

STL Import for AutoCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into AutoCAD and adds a new submenu called STLImport to the AutoCAD menu.

The STLImport menu consists of the following commands:
# Import - Imports an STL file
# Help - Displays the STL Import for AutoCAD help file
# Register - Registers your copy of STL Import for AutoCAD
# About - Displays the STL Import for AutoCAD About box

STL Import for AutoCAD comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.
