Forgive my ignorance... but then why would be _any_ 3D support inside PCB? To rotate a 2D image in 3D doesn't make any sense, does it? So this is my naive work flow: In PCB: * This is my PCB with the components. * I press the "export to 3D" button. (or run an external script) (an openscad file is generated) In openscad: * Import (open) the openscad file. * Import a STEP file of a box that will contain the board. * Tada... my layout in the box. Rotate, and show it to your boss, wife, etc... * Run various off line checking such as component and box overlapping. Did I get it right? Levente -- Levente Kovacs CTO, CSO http://levente.logonex.eu
