STL work around

[gms1]

I dunno if this was mentioned in that last thread on stl imports because I'm not reading that garbage but my reseller came up with a decent work around until it gets fixed in mastercam. Use a program called EasyFit http://www.click-to-fit.com/easyfit.php?PHPSESSID=pakerbpxfxdg〈=en its kind of a pain to use because most of the commands are in german but you can simply associate your stls with this program, double-click open them with the software and select Project ->>> Export as STL and give it a name, done! You can even play around with the triangle reduction command to reduce the size of your stl's.

I used that free software to reduce the .stl file sizes. It was very useful when using the old verify in X6 and previous versions.

Yeah I had it installed on my old computer and it worked great for that, I didn't even think to try it out for this.

Meshlab also works great to reduce the size of your STL files but you have to know what you're doing (not that I do, but I use the quadratic reduction and it works well) it does however make 'safe' STLs every time.
