Hey out there. Wondering if there is a way to convert a STL file into a usable object in DSM. Right now the only option i know of is to convert it to an oject but generally it just gives me a shell that can't be turned to a solid. Even if I tell it to create a solid it seems to make a shell also it busy's out my pc for a hour. IF I leave it as a STL you can't really edit it. I ask becuase I have a STL file of a plane that would go a long way to helping me with a new design project yet. The file is affectily useless to me. At least based on my current level of understanding.   Let me know if there are any suggestions.  Cheers  

hola,al crear un diseño no y al dar a enviar al programa cura para exportar en stl ,no abre el programa ni envia nada,asi mismo lo intento guardar en stl y no aparece el archivo en ninguna carpeta.

昨天在设计月球科技馆概念图时用扫掠拉伸功能画完了十几道曲形的结构长板，画最后几道时突然扫掠拉伸功能失效，我按照软件提示一直没有排除故障，现在无论是手动还是自动，扫掠拉伸功能都不工作，请给予指点。 Google Translation: Yesterday, when I was designing the concept drawing of the Lunar Science and Technology Museum, I used the sweep and stretch function to draw more than a dozen curved structural long boards. When I was drawing the last few lines, the sweep and stretch function suddenly failed. I followed the software prompts and still failed to troubleshoot. Now, Whether it is manual or automatic, the sweep stretch function is not working, please give me some advice.

本日「Engineer」にアップグレードしたのですが、再起動して使ってみましたが、レイヤ階層も使用できなく、バルーン機能も使えません。画面上の表示は「Engineer」になっています。どのようにしたら使えるようになりますか。

On CNC manufactured parts  I have 1 or 2 pages of drawing defining the machanical design. What I'd like to do is have a last drawing page just with paint detailing, (a second external oeration) . So on the drawing I can "shade" and then colour specific surfaces. However on some parts paint is only on part of a surface. If I  if I sketch a line to define the paint boundry  I can colorise the relevant surface however this is a line I do not want to appear on any other view. I don't fully understand that if I hide the line in in specific views in the mechnical design sheets then it seems the line is actually part of the body and the whole body is hidden, which is not what I want to do.  Anyone got any suggestions  ?  Of could I could just create another component just for the paint detail but It'd be easier to manage if there is only one component.

Hallo, schon lange nicht mehr mit dem Programm gearbeitet. Da mein Abbo noch aktiv ist, war ich verwundert, dass ich nicht mehr als DXF speichern kann. Hat jemand einen Tipp für mich? Google Translation: Hello, I haven't worked with the program for a long time. Since my subscription is still active, I was surprised that I can no longer save as DXF. Does anyone have a tip for me?

Good morning, about 10 days ago I changed my hard disk and reinstalled DesignSpark Mechanical 6.0.3, but since then I can't start the application.I already wrote to support.. no response for 9 days.Has anyone had similar problems? How can I solve it?

プルを行う時の表示を半径表示では無く、直径表示（Φ）にする方法はありますか。 DSM2ではデフォルトは直径表示だったように思います。   Is there a way to display the diameter (Φ) instead of the radius when pulling? I think the default in DSM2 was diameter display.

Hello Can I do simulation in my projects?

I'm a newbie and having difficulty moving a 3d object after pasting it. How do you specify a particular point for insertion?

I seen this video and I'm wondering how to do this constrution line in 3D mode then sketch from it? I dont seem to have that option in the latest version of DSM.Thanks in advanced https://youtu.be/9K9ERbjQc9c?si=hq9qen01YkUCDp8r&t=1272:07 timestamp

Hallo Ich habe das Problem das ein Objekt das ich gezeichnet habe Plötzlich kein Volumenkörper mehr ist. ``wen ich dieses Kopiere.`` Das gibt natürlich Mashfeler und drei Fehler zeigt es mir auch an bei geometrie prüffen. Weiß jemand wie ich die Oberfläche wieder zusammenfügen kann?   Die erste Datei zeigt nur Oberflächen an Die andere Datei ist „noch“ ein Objekt

Hey Folks, Total newbie here wrapping my head around design outside of tinkercad. Im designing a train bogie and got the outside dimensions fine, and then tried to pull the design to see how it looked printed with no details. Pulled the sketch to 2mm, saved it as STL and printed. All worked great. Now when trying to return the item to a flat sketch I cant figure out how to remove the 3d elements and funnily enough clicking around different options really hasnt done much. Is there a simple way to do this or have I screwed myself early on? I did have a google and watch a few youtube videos but can't really find a way to get back to that flat design view.
