Hi Jose,
good to know! :)
I think that FreeCAD would be a very useful companion for KiCad...
It is open source and works an the same platforms on which KiCad works
I'm also building a 3D mechanical library that is based on KiCad
official '.pretty' modules, that will let users to benefit of 3D MCAD
models in a easier way
please have a look at the kicad forum
https://forum.kicad.info/t/3d-new-library-for-mechanical-cad-exporting-and-enclosure-design/1763
I managed to do most of SMD parts just using my parametric script to
build the 3D models, and I'm getting some help from people used to MCAD
sw to build other models, connectors included...
keep in touch
Maurice :)

No problem, thank you for the tools, I am working on a new board and
using the FreeCAD only workflow. Today created a PCB 3D model in step
which is really valuable!
Take care

Hi Jose,
I can reproduce it in OSX Lion, so I can debug :)
Thank you for reporting it and also for the solution-workaround you have
found!
keep in touch
