Hi, I've just installed the "Pro" 2018.05 version of LE. Now there are only 2 translators, Allegro and 3D STEP. Is that because of a new policy or am I overlooking something? Best, Arend |

Select "Help > Installed Options" and you can select from 24 CAD tools. 3D STEP is default with all CAD tools. ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |

Hi Tom, 3D Step is not one of my options, is it supposed to be? |

When you select any CAD tool, 3D STEP is the primary export. When you create your first library part you must select the "Translator" drop-down and select the 3D STEP checkbox to turn it on. We are releasing V2018.06 tomorrow and it fixes this issue. You can now select a CAD tool and when you create your first part, the CAD tool will be open and 3D STEP checked by default. i.e.: if you want to turn off 3D STEP you must uncheck the box. Hope this helps.  ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |
