Hello All. I am new and not sure if libre cad will do what im looking for. I have tried freecad and it does not work either.

I have created an stl file in my 3d modler, since that is the ONLY file it will let me export as for the free sketchup edition.

I now want to make some working drawings of the stl. I was hoping to find a program that will import the stl, and let me create basic views from the file and basic dims. I tried freecad with the tech draw, but it does not work with meshes and trying to convert the mesh to a shape was damn near impossible.

can librecad import an stl and create 2d working drawings?

thansk. if not, any other ideas come to mind?
