Steve,
I see the doggy. very nice. But this was not done by simply importing an STL
file into Pro/E, was it? The original question was, to paraphrase, "should I
convert an STL file to IGES and import it into Pro/E in order to generate a
machining tool path?" The answer is still no, unless Pro/E has some new
features I'm not aware of.
In your CGW example, there's an intermediate step of converting a point cloud
into a set of surfaces, using Surfacer, Strim, VX or others (i've heard Alias
is good at this too, but I haven't seen it work). If you have the software and
hardware tools to do this, it's an elegant solution.
