Import stl. file into NX CAM tool library

Import stl. file into NX CAM tool library

(OP)
Looking for a way to import a .stl or .stp file of a tool model into the NX Cam tool library. Can I do it directly or do go between software. Currently running NX7.5 but going to NX8.5 in a few months. We do not have PLM implemented yet that is slated for next year, so any solution within PLM will not be viable. Any assistance would be appreciated.

RE: Import stl. file into NX CAM tool library

You first need to open or import it, and create a valid NX .prt file. Then you should be able to use it with the tool library, like any other tool assembly.
