We've often succesfully converted STL's to Pro/E. My 64Mb SGI Indy bogs down
after Pro/E has processed about 5000 or so triangles though. The trick is to
convert the STL triangles to IGES ruled surfaces. Once read into Pro/E the
file USUALLY solidifies without difficulty. (Sometimes the triangles don't
quite match up and you get those yellow edges Pro/E hates.You can either try
to edit these to work, or usually simply "swallowing" them with a protrusion
does the job.)
Remember, this will come in as one base feature and will have no parametric
controlability.
