Copper Layers Visual Model

Layout
1

Hi,
I am trying to generate a .svx, or .step or .dxf format file of my board copper layers in Kicad. How can I do that. Typically it just generates these files for the board and its outer border and not the copper layers.
Please let me know,
Thanks

dxf:

  • File–>Plot
  • set output format to dxf
  • choose the wanted layers (top copper/bottom copper)
  • button Plot

step:

  • kicad v7: not native available, but you could use Freecad + kicadstepup plugin
  • kicad v7.99 (next year v8): copper export in step file is supported, set the corresponding checkbox
