stl solids are imported relative to the world coordinate system

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If I create a coordinate system and import a dxf, the geometry is imported
relative to the new coordinate system.  This is very convenient but doesn't
work for importing stl solids.  

What's worse, it doesn't appear there's any way to change the location
coordinates of the stl solids other than using the drag handles.  This is
really a pain and close to impossible to get any kind of accuracy.

It would be great of stl import worked like dxf.

OK, I have repeated this. I will look into it.

For now, you can use, from the menu, "Transform"->"Move Translate" to move it, 
which
gives you more control than dragging it.

I have fixed this. Also the color of an STL object wasn't set, so it sometimes
changed color. I fixed that too.
