Hi Mario,

do you think it would be possible to add, for mechanical purposes, the 
option to export the plain pcb with bounding boxes of the vrml modules?

that could eliminate the problem related to the conversion of vrml 
models to STEP/IGES and could simplify a lot the mechanical model, 
maintaining the information for building a mechanical 3D layout  ...

the bounding box version of 3D modules plus the plain pcb should be 
enough for mechanical purposes interchanges...

thank you
Maurice
