Subject:[pcb-rnd] new: holes/cutouts and models in export_stl
replies: 4269 from N <ni...@gmail.com>
Hi all,
 
we have two plugins to provide export bridge to 3d mechanical CADs:
 
- The openscad exporter (in turn openscad can export to various formats); 
see http://repo.hu/cgi-bin/pool.cgi?cmd=show&node=openscad ; note: I have 
a special fork of openscad that works fine from the command line and can 
be compiled without opengl, let me know if you need it.
 
- The direct stl export using the export_stl plugin.
 
Both can export the board shape and components put on the board, in case 
component models are available in the footprint library in the 
corresponding file format and the subcircuits have the attributes to 
reference the models.
 
New things with svn HEAD in the export_stl plugin:
 
- padstack holes are exported as cutouts (this can be controlled so only 
holes larger than a specific diameter are exported)
 
- padstack slots (lines and polygon shaped) are also exported and they can 
be controlled too
 
- manually drawn cutouts (on layers in boundary or mech layer groups) are 
exported (this can be disabled too)
 
- when models are available and referenced, the plugin loads and includes 
the 3d STL models for subcircuits
 
 
Details: http://repo.hu/cgi-bin/pool.cgi?cmd=show&node=export_stl
 
Majenko, please test this (at least the hole/cutout part), it was your 
feature request!
 
Best regards,
 
Igor2
