More granular 3D STEP export

Layout 3D Models
1

Hello,

I am trying to export a fairly complex PCB design from KiCad v8.0.7 to STEP and I am importing this to Onshape. The problem is that in the export, there is no intermediate step between the board contour and full PCB objects including traces.

This results in huge model, which Onshape has hard times to deal with. However, having the possibility to select contour, mounting holes, pads, vias, and traces selectively would completely solve the issue.

Also, the capability to export silkscreen is something I miss.

Any hints are sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

Best, Steve

You can get this in the nightly /what will become V9 in a few months. Make a copy of your design and then open the copy in the nightly for export.
