Just a side question here:
when I use the stepup tool in free cad to import a PCB there some of the models I actually assigned are always missing as well as the models for the DF13C connector(Also missing in the kicad 3d viewer for the DF13C) no idea how to assign them back to be able to see them in FreeCad,
To let StepUp knowing where are your 3D models, you need to configure your ‘ksu-config.ini’ file.
At the first page of StepUp Cheat Sheet the environment variables are described.
You can have 2 environment variables to configure the 3D paths.
You may find useful this thread:
Hi all,
I configured the StepUp ksu-config.ini file in order to have 2 differents folders where i have my models.
prefix3D_1 = C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\modules\packages3d
prefix3D_2 = C:\Portable datas\Datas KICAD\modules\packages3d\
When i load a pcb file, StepUp does not find the models that are in prefix3D_2 path.
The missing modules are searched in
C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\modules\packages3d\TK5EP.3dshapes/ which is a mix of both paths …
Do i understand it wrong or…
