Over the last month, I have used PCBNEW to layout no fewer than 8 circuit boards, 1 of them was a dense packed 6 layer doublesided smt board 2400 pins. No problems with any of the output files... the built-in gerber file viewer scared me a bit , but when looked at with ViewMate, everything was perfect.
Up to now, I have just ignored the 3D aspect. but I am sure that I will end up with a nasty packaging job where it would prove very useful. I too would like to use solidworks to generate the 3d models... So, is the .wrl format compatible? How exactly does one connect the .wrl to the PCBNEW module? Thanks in advance. Steven
