"3D Mapper" button does not displayed. OrCAD PCB Designer STD 17.4

I tried to set the ".step" file into the ".dra" file I created, but the 3D mapper button does not appear.

I already checked this on the preference page.

However, the button does not exist on the window. It does not exist on the View>Windows.

    Hi KAnalog , Please check in View > Windows and enable the 3D Mapper tab if not enabled.

    Hi mahimag , Thank you for your comment. I already tried it, but there was no tab in View > Windows. (I wanted to add screen capture here, but I couldn't due to error.)

    Can you check your hotfix version by going to Help > About in tool? 3D Mapper is introduced in later hotfixes for 17.4

    My version is "17.4-2019 S008". Is it not supported in this version? In that case, is there a way to add a .step file?
    I'd like to update the hotfix, but my support license was expired this summer. The distributor's response was extremely slow, then the license expired while we were processing the renewal, so I couldn't renew it.

    Yes, you will not have 3D Mapper in hotfix 8. You can use Setup > Step Package Mapping dialog box.
