I can import 2 stl files, but cant make them into a part studio file, when i try and create an assembly file and then insert the imported stl file, it does not show on the list of part studio files to insert
because its not a part studio file, i would then like to be able to insert another stl file and position it (mate) it with the first import, so i can then model a new part around the imported files being
used as a reference.
is there a way to convert an stl into a part studio file so you can then import / insert it into an assembly file to use as reference geometry.
Thanks for any help Guys

I know so many CAD users who need 'full' reference an STL in the CAD world, I know it's tricky but it can be done and is often a necessary connection between the real and digital worlds.
I think Blender is another option for exporting STLs as STEP files but never tried it, and I also think Fusion 360 can already do this. I keeping my fingers crossed that the improvement will be implemented soon.
Hope this helps....a bit!
