Step package mapping

padmaster
padmaster over 12 years ago

First time playing around with this functionality. I downloaded a step file of a SMT DIP switch, mapped the step file to the package and it appears to be working correctly but when I go to the 3D view, I still see just a nondescript block for that switch. Is the step model function working properly or is it still "under developement"?

 

Win XP, 16.6 with latest hotfix #13.

     For now set the env variable, in your local env file

        set step_unsupported_prototype

    then restart allegro. Starting with ISR 14 you won't have to do this workaround
