STL files

I know Inventor can export STL files. But I have no way of checking to make sure they are correct. When I try to open them, it doesn't do anything.

I need to make an ipt part in inventor then get it into a 3D stl or dxf part. I need 3d for sure. Is exporting the stl all I need to do? I'm just curious, how do I make a 3d DXF (like wireframe)? Maybe somehow AutoCAD can assist? I need to start with an ipt though.
