board cutouts exported to step model files

#1 Post by lclore » 13 Apr 2025, 22:05

for some complicated board profiles with features like slotted holes and such, the board cutout features do not export as removed holes when exporting to step file. the outline is there, but its filled. is there a setting or something I might be missing?

How did you get slot holes in PCB? I mean did you use pads with oval holes or shapes on board cutout layer? In the first case, do not forget to turn on "Pad Holes' when you export STEP. In the second case, you should get the same result in STEP file as you see on 3D preview.
