| Is the actual pin included with the 3D Model output? |

I am reffering to the CAD output from Footprint Expert. The 3D Model outline is an output, but does not seem to include the terminal. I would like to be able to get the Model Outline and Termninals on one layer of CAD output.  |

The 3D Model outline is used for IDF export and only creates a polygon with Height. No leads or pins. |

Would it be possible on future versions to include Terminals as one of the layers to export to cad? This way I can choose which layer to put it on. It would help us to visualize the Body/Pins on top of the Land Pattern during Layout and DFM checks.
We would like to see this during DFM checks:

The big issue is the CAD tool layer. We need to add a major feature that allows users to define additional layers for drafting items. |
