Stl2dat understands only "ASCII" version of STL files, but not compressed ones. Make sure to use the right option when you save/export to STL!

Sorry, I'm not a Solidworks guru... But there are some modeling tips at the bottom of this page: http://jc-tchang.philohome.com/manuel/stl2dat.htm . It's in French, but with the help of an on-line translator...???
