3D export 4.3.0.4

#1 Post by pebbert9 » 04 Feb 2023, 06:41

When I export the 3D step file and open in Solidworks the Top and Bottom of the PCB surfaces are not exported. They are just "holes"

I did a fresh STEP file export from DipTrace 4.3.0.4 and imported it into SolidWorks 2022 SP5.0. On my system it behaves as expected.

Here are my import settings:

SolidWorks can be infuriatingly particular about the video card and video driver. Maybe a video driver update would make a difference.

My problems started after I added a notch to the board and I updated to the latest version.
It looks like the issue is with the board points. I deleted the board and recreated and it's working now.

These points don't work

I've tried to re-create how the board got corrupted but I haven't been able to.

Deleting the board and re-adding worked for me.
