stereolithography vs. certificate trust list?

stereolithography vs. certificate trust list?

(OP)
Hello,

 I'm exporting a stereolithography (.stl) part from UG (using Windows XP) and I got a certificate trust list file in my folder instead of the a stereolithography file.

 The exported file works fine as an stereolithography file (I'm using a diferent program than UG to see the result) but Windows see the file as an Certificate trust list because both tipe of files have the same .stl ending.

 Is there a way to change it? should I leve it as it is and send it to the supplier to get the SLS models?

 Thanks, Javo.

RE: stereolithography vs. certificate trust list?

Leave it alone, it is fine.
Windows associates .stl files for trust lists but that doesn't mean that it messes with your .stl files. It only associates an icon to the file type and a default program to open the file in.

As an example: you can rename any file to have a .txt extension and windows will change the icon and try to open it in notepad if you double click it, but that doesn't mean the file is ASCII text.

 Thanks Cowski! I'll leave it as it is.
