Well, the full models can be done later, What I find more important is the full PCB detail (holes, countour, etc..) which it's really used for MCAD integration :-)
If you do it for IGES (which I think it's a good Idea), please consider to do it like a plugin (3D exporter) because, this way somebody could come later and do something yet fancier that we thought about .. :) Miguel Angel Ajo http://www.nbee.es (http://www.nbee.es/) +34911407752 skype: ajoajoajo On Monday, 6 de May de 2013 at 10:13, Lorenzo Marcantonio wrote: > On Mon, May 06, 2013 at 10:06:18AM +0200, Miguel Angel Ajo wrote: > > anyway I find more useful a full model output (with all shapes) than > > bounding boxes :) > > > Then you *really* have a lot of memory and processor time to handle you > designs :D (alternatively you don't need complex designs).
