I browsed around the opencascade website while looking for a good CAD program. It looks like the opencascade stuff is just the engine for a 3D CAD program. You'd need to do a bunch of work to turn it into something useful for real drawings. Or at least that was my impression. I could be wrong. > The screenshot are really cool. > Better than rendering the board, is to export for a program like that. Yes, exactly. If Kicad exports .dxf or .iges then it is a good step in a useful direction since board models could then be incorporated into larger system mechanical models. Exporting ODB++ would be OK too, although of less utility than exporting .dxf. Otherwise, if you can't export a mechanical model, the ability to do 3D modeling is cute, but useless. Anyway, the biggest missing piece to the puzzle here is good mechanical 3D CAD. Stuart
