I asked my AutoCAD AE about the question of RP via AutoCAD. Here is
his reply:
The SOLSTLOUT command was part of the AME modeling package in R11/R12
of AutoCAD. Since the AME modeling package went away with the
introduction of R13, the command in R13 has changed to STLOUT. Note
that this command will only work on true 3DSOLID data types. If you
are using the parametric modeling package Designer from AutoDesk, you
will first have to explode the part before running STLOUT on it. You
can then UNDO to get back the original designer part. Facet sizes can
be controlled with the AutoCAD system variable FACETRES, the default
value is 1 and is fine for most parts. Increasing this value will
increase the number of facets and the file size as well. If you
currently do not have R13 of AutoCAD I strongly recommend you
procuring it.
