Search for stl to dwg converter or software able to handle these file types.
We have found 11 software records in our database eligible for .stl to .dwg file format conversion.
Almost every 3D modeling / CAD tool supports STL format nowadays, so stl to dwg conversion should be doable in pretty much anything. However, some programs only generate 2D view of the 3D model, perhaps from its slice or from sides. This means to every program may be suitable for your needs.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned stl to dwg. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.

STL
Files with stl file extension can be mainly found as stereolithography files for 3D printers. Used in many CAD programs as output format for models and prototypes that could be printed in stereolithography devices.
DWG
A dwg file extension is used for common CAD file format, originally used by AutoCAD. A DWG is a proprietary format and can only be created in AutoCAD. Other CAD programs can usually import it, but not create its proprietary form. It's because of this, that DWGs are often exported to DXF interchange format, so they can be seamlessly used in other CAD programs.
