Summary

The Create STL File dialog box is a standard file selection dialog box. It displays when you use the 3DPRINT or STLOUT commands.

The STL file format is preferred by 3D printing service providers. If you have prepared your drawing for 3D printing, you can save it with the STLOUT command, rather than the 3DPRINT command.

The FACETRES system variable determines how the solid is triangulated. A higher value creates a finer mesh that more accurately represents the model. This also results in a much larger file.
