I've been thinking about making some addons, but the main two things preventing me from doing so have been my dual lack of 3D modeling skills, and time. I think I've come up with a solution to the first problem though: Alibre Designer. It's a remarkably easy (and free) CAD program. However, I need some help with converting it's output files to msh files. Alibre can produce these files (listed in order of which ones I think may be most useful for conversion):

STL
IGS
STP
SAT
AD_PRT

If I can get one of them as far as 3DS I'll be all set, since I can then use 3DS2MSH. If anyone could point me in the direction of a free converter, I'll be eternally grateful!:)

STL into Blender, If you can get the Blender to msh to work then Blender to .msh
If not export as 3ds and import to amin8tor and export from there.
