Summary
The Create STL File dialog box is a standard file selection dialog box.
The STL file format is preferred by 3D printing service providers. If you have
prepared your drawing for 3D printing, you save it with the STLOUT 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.

Summary
Objects that are partially enclosed by a crossing window are stretched. Objects
that are completely enclosed within the crossing window, or that are selected
individually, are moved rather than stretched. Several objects such as circles,
ellipses, and blocks, cannot be stretched.
