Hello Seth,

I’ve had the opportunity to test this on Windows (MSVC, but I’ve had the same 
issue with MSYS2).
STEP models work great in the 3D viewer, and in the footprint module editor, 
just as in OCE.
Unfortunately, I cannot get the STEP export to work. I’ve had a run at using 
OpenCascade before
and encountered this exact same issue. As an example, I’ve attached an 
outputted file.
The following output is from the command line kicad2step:

20:31:07: C:\dev\kicad-personal\utils\kicad2step\pcb\oce_utils.cpp: fileType: 
163
  * no such file: ''

20:31:07: C:\dev\kicad-personal\utils\kicad2step\pcb\oce_utils.cpp: 
PCBMODEL::AddComponent: 574
  * no model for filename for ‘’

This repeats for every model. If you have any ideas, I’d be very willing to try 
them out.

- Thomas

Subject: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Allow OpenCASCADE standard edition

​Hi All-

Currently, the build requires the opencascade community edition.  For various 
reasons, I need to have the current non-community edition of OpenCASCADE 
installed on my work machine.

The attached patch allows compiling KiCad with either the OpenCASCADE community 
edition or standard edition.

I've tested on a homebrew-based Mac install as well as Linux but haven't 
verified MSW, if someone would be willing to test it there, that would be 
great!  The basic search routines are lightly modified from FreeCAD's logic and 
keep their LGPL copyright on the CMake file.
