I think to make an STL file you'll need to save out to other software - maybe save as 3DS or DWG. I know Solidworks can import both of those and save out as STL. Probably Inventor can as well. And maybe even Autocad...

To save as 3D DWG, read the reply to your other post:

Kind of agree to that...

However, I found out that the DWG viewer eDrawings from Solidworks also Saves As .stl
This program is free and cross-platform (there is a MacOSX version too)
Download from http://www.solidworks.com/pages/products/edrawings/eDrawings.html
I have not tested it.
