Step model shown too big in Allegro 3d canvas

jatins

Hi 

In 3D Canvas window, Step model of one of the connectors used in PCB is shown too big as compared to the rest of the PCB as shown here:

However, when i Export>MCAD the step file of complete PCB, the size of the connector looks correct.

    This was an issue in earlier versions but I believe this was fixed so download the latest 17.4-2019 hotfix (currently S022) and see if that helps. A workaround is to launch the 3d canvas, go to the 3d Mapper tab, click on export and export the mappings to a file, then Import and import the same file again and this should get you going.

    Yes Thanks. Thats what i thought to do. Currently, i am running 17.4 S019 Hotfix. But my PC won't let me update to the latest hotfix. Download Manager window hangs everytime i try to install it.

    Will check on another PC.

    I don't use download manager for several reasons.  Can you download and apply the patch manually?

    My understanding is there was a 3D canvas revision for SP 21.  Now SP 22 has been released.
