I have converted a few KiCad components (resistors) to step files. Some of them have their legs broken! Is it a problem with my workflow? Thanks for your help. ok.jpg ko.jpg OS: Windows 7 Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.17.11472 (Git) Build type: Release Branch: mast...

I'm not sure BOP check would be reliable on step models... I remember a post where @NormandC noted that on models that comes from step (just a model without it's construction geometry)

With mathgl it is also possible to create directly 3d pdf files and it is supposed to support a certain mesh format. So, when writing out a mesh in FreeCAD in this format it theoretically should be possible to create a 3d pdf file without the need of pdflatex or the idtf converter. Unfortunately, a...

May be a first glance video with some short slides would worth for new users...
I.e.
1) modelling for 3d printing
2) modelling for milling
3) modelling for Architecture
4) FEM analysis
5) Assembly of parts
6) ECAD MCAD collaboration
That could be a very simple but promotional video

A mixed combination like:
Body -> H
Part -> G
Assy -> H
could be added?

great! I'm glad the new STEP structure is aligned to Assembly code

@Devs: What do you think about increasing the priority of this issue? It's not a matter of setting a priority as much as simply finding someone who is interested in doing the work. We all agree this is worthwhile but you have to find someone who will write the code. By the way, Thomas wrote the cur...

Hello, Yes Maurice, my first components are hosted and downloadable on GitHub. Others will follow soon... ;-) Host these files on Kicad? Yes, of course, but how do we do it? What is "Kicad", I do not know? Regards, salutations, Jean-Michel. Kicad is an open source EDA www.kicad-pcb.org Fo...

Hello, I present the latest workshops produced these days: These are widespread and lacking components in the library. For medium power, the TO126: TO126.jpg For high powers, flat housings that were declined from the good old but cumbersome TO3. And the TOP3 and TO218 as presented here are already ...
