Which means it might be a good idea to state your usecase for why you want to have copper in the step file. Both of these are also a feature of stepup as it can automatically remove certain models (by reference or footprint name, by size, …) and it can also replace models by a simply cuboid representing the bounding box of the part. Highly complex systems might even benefit from removing 3d models of uninteresting components or replacing them with simple shapes for further optimization. Both add basically nothing of use for the mechanical engineer which is why it is not really needed to have them and leafing them out will make their workflow easier. From the developer: STP viewer is a professional tool for viewing CAD models with excellent speed and quality. This free program is an intellectual property of IdeaMK.

.STP FILE VIEWER INSTALL
VariCAD viewer allows you to convert DWG to DXF and vice-versa, convert STEP to 3D IGES or STL formats, print 2D DWG, DXF or VariCAD formats and use batch print or batch conversions. You can install this free PC program on Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11 32-bit. The same is true for silk and mask layers. VariCAD Viewer is a free viewer, converter and printing software working with 2D DWG, DXF, 3D STEP and 3D/2D VariCAD file formats. In fact it might even slow them down especially for larger more complex boards as the computer might struggle to deal with all these details. The step export is mostly meant to aid your mechanical engineer in making a housing for your board or to integrate your board into a more complex system.įor this task they don’t need to know where copper is located.
