.stl file weight

you should only need to open the STL file as you would any other file in SW and then perform mass properties analysis on the part.

the only issue you would have is if the native file had errors that prevented the STL file from properly exporting. it may still export the file but not import as a solid. if it has any gaps, it may be a surface model and that of course would not have mass properties. if that is the case, you need to have your customer fix their model and export it again.
