Wayne,

*sense to me that kicad2step would attempt to substitute the wrl filelinks
withe step files when converting wrl to step.*

This is exactly what it does. I'm not sure what you mean with embedded step
file references.

If I'm reading this patch correctly, exported wrl files will always have
step file references in them even when they are found.  If that is the
case, then I am opposed to this change.  AFAIK, opening the wrl board
file will fail with the embedded step file links.  It would make more
sense to me that kicad2step would attempt to substitute the wrl file
links withe step files when converting wrl to step.
