I focused on getting my pcb from kicad into solidworks to design a case for it. At first, I thought that kicad wouldn’t let me export my pcb as a .step file because I tried to save a copy of the file and manually select .step from file explorer but that wasn’t an option. After some research, I found out that I had to click export, and I successfully saved it as a .step file. Despite it being a .step file, I still could not get it to open into solidworks and even though the software showed that it was loading all the different parts, the file never opened. I navigated back to the file and realized that this problem was occuring due to the file not having a name. (the file name was saved as .step) After renaming it, it opened in solidworks and I could now look at dimensions much easier. I chose my case type to be a “sandwich case” that sandwiches the top plate between the two haves of the case, and started to design the top plate.
