How to export the 3D model / Step file for individual footprints from the PCB Board

RohitRohan

Dear Community,

I have a PCB board with all the STEP files successfully mapped; however, I do not have the individual STEP files for each footprint saved locally.

Currently, when I attempt to export the STEP file, it exports the entire PCB assembly as a single STEP file. My requirement is to export individual STEP files for each footprint separately so that they can be utilized in future PCB designs as needed.

Could anyone kindly guide me on how to export 3D models/STEP files individually for each footprint? Your suggestions and insights would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to your valuable input.

Best Regards,
Rohit Rohan

    Are you trying to do this in Presto? Because you know you can File > Export > Libraries ... in Allegro, right?

    Hai Elecguy,

    Actually, i tried exporting the from File >> Export >> Libraries.
    But steps files / 3D Models are not exporting.
    We are able to export the Dra file, Pad file and PSM file.

    Regards,
