STEP (ISO 10303-21 Clear Text Encoding of the Exchange Structure)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exports the PCB as a 3D model.
This is the most common 3D format for exchange purposes. |br|
This output is what you get from the 'File/Export/STEP' menu in pcbnew. |br|
Type: ``step``
Category: **PCB/3D**
Parameters:
- **comment** :index:`: <pair: output - step; comment>` [string=''] A comment for documentation purposes. It helps to identify the output.
- **dir** :index:`: <pair: output - step; dir>` [string='./'] Output directory for the generated files.
If it starts with `+` the rest is concatenated to the default dir.
- **name** :index:`: <pair: output - step; name>` [string=''] Used to identify this particular output definition.
Avoid using `_` as first character. These names are reserved for KiBot.
- **options** :index:`: <pair: output - step; options>` [dict] Options for the `step` output.
- Valid keys:
- **download** :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; download>` [boolean=true] Downloads missing 3D models from KiCad git.
Only applies to models in KISYS3DMOD and KICAD6_3DMODEL_DIR.
They are downloaded to a temporal directory and discarded.
If you want to cache the downloaded files specify a directory using the
KIBOT_3D_MODELS environment variable.
- **no_virtual** :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; no_virtual>` [boolean=false] Used to exclude 3D models for components with 'virtual' attribute.
- **origin** :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; origin>` [string='grid'] Determines the coordinates origin. Using grid the coordinates are the same as you have in the design sheet.
The drill option uses the auxiliary reference defined by the user.
You can define any other origin using the format 'X,Y', i.e. '3.2,-10'.
- **output** :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; output>` [string='%f-%i%I%v.%x'] Name for the generated STEP file (%i='3D' %x='step'). Affected by global options.
- ``dnf_filter`` :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; dnf_filter>` [string|list(string)='_none'] Name of the filter to mark components as not fitted.
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.
- ``download_lcsc`` :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; download_lcsc>` [boolean=true] In addition to try to download the 3D models from KiCad git also try to get
them from LCSC database. In order to work you'll need to provide the LCSC
part number. The field containing the LCSC part number is defined by the
`field_lcsc_part` global variable.
- ``kicad_3d_url`` :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; kicad_3d_url>` [string='https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-packages3D/-/raw/master/'] Base URL for the KiCad 3D models.
- ``kicad_3d_url_suffix`` :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; kicad_3d_url_suffix>` [string=''] Text added to the end of the download URL.
Can be used to pass variables to the GET request, i.e. ?VAR1=VAL1&VAR2=VAL2.
- ``metric_units`` :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; metric_units>` [boolean=true] Use metric units instead of inches.
- ``min_distance`` :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; min_distance>` [number=-1] The minimum distance between points to treat them as separate ones (-1 is KiCad default: 0.01 mm).
- ``pre_transform`` :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; pre_transform>` [string|list(string)='_none'] Name of the filter to transform fields before applying other filters.
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.
- ``subst_models`` :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; subst_models>` [boolean=true] Substitute STEP or IGS models with the same name in place of VRML models.
- ``variant`` :index:`: <pair: output - step - options; variant>` [string=''] Board variant to apply.
- **type** :index:`: <pair: output - step; type>` [string=''] Type of output.
- ``category`` :index:`: <pair: output - step; category>` [string|list(string)=''] The category for this output. If not specified an internally defined category is used.
Categories looks like file system paths, i.e. **PCB/fabrication/gerber**.
The categories are currently used for `navigate_results`.
- ``disable_run_by_default`` :index:`: <pair: output - step; disable_run_by_default>` [string|boolean] Use it to disable the `run_by_default` status of other output.
Useful when this output extends another and you don't want to generate the original.
Use the boolean true value to disable the output you are extending.
- ``extends`` :index:`: <pair: output - step; extends>` [string=''] Copy the `options` section from the indicated output.
Used to inherit options from another output of the same type.
- ``groups`` :index:`: <pair: output - step; groups>` [string|list(string)=''] One or more groups to add this output. In order to catch typos
we recommend to add outputs only to existing groups. You can create an empty group if
needed.
- ``output_id`` :index:`: <pair: output - step; output_id>` [string=''] Text to use for the %I expansion content. To differentiate variations of this output.
- ``priority`` :index:`: <pair: output - step; priority>` [number=50] [0,100] Priority for this output. High priority outputs are created first.
Internally we use 10 for low priority, 90 for high priority and 50 for most outputs.
- ``run_by_default`` :index:`: <pair: output - step; run_by_default>` [boolean=true] When enabled this output will be created when no specific outputs are requested.
