Footprint rotates without 3d-model

[hewoJUYCY]

Hi,

I'm starting to work with Eagle in collaboration with Fusion 360. I build my PCB-design and added all the necessary 3d-parts to it. After pushing it to Fusion everything looks fine, except my LEDs are not rotated like their footprints. To show my problem I attached a screenshot. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening and how I can fix it? Thanks!

Hi hewoJUYCY,

We greatly appreciate your participation on the forum. Are you using 3D models from our standard Managed libraries or did you upload a STEP model? 

Best Regards,

Hi edwin.robledo,

currently I'm using an uploaded STEP model.

Hi hewoJUYCY,

If possible, can you share the STEP file, I would like to reproduce what you are experiencing.

Thank you.

[hewoJUYCY]

yes, of course.

Hi hewoJUYCY,

I hope all is well upon receiving my response. I did notice when I import the STEP model into the Package Editor, its on its side:

I rotated 90 degrees and saved the package and library. I made a simple example schematic and it appears to using the correct rotation:

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your quick answer. But the part lies on its side. It's a "side view SMD LED." In my layout the LEDs have to be orientated in a circle. The complete orientation and positioning of the electrical layout is done in EAGLE. Only the 3d components after the push to FUSION don't rotate with the footprint. All 3d-LEDs stay in one direction. (Pleas take a exact look at the screenshot from my first post) 

I hope you are now able to reconstruct my Problem. 

Best regards

Hi hewoJUYCY,

OK, I'm looking into it.

Hi hewoJUYCY,

I created a diode and placed on a board. On the board I mapped the STEP model you facilitated. I then used the Array ULP to have the diodes place in a circular pattern.  It appears that the 3D model mapped accordingly. Can you please let me know how did you map the STEP model to the footprint. Did you map in as a Managed Library, or did you copy the footprint and 3D model from one library to another one?

Please keep me informed.

Hi Ed, 

my workflow was as follows:

1. I only imported the model of the LED into EAGLE (without 3d model). Every LED is individual placed and rotated. 

2. I made my EAGLE library a managed library.

3. I build a 3d model of the LED in FUSION, exported it as a step model and added it via upload to my managed library in EAGLE. 

4. In a last step I pushed my EAGLE-schematic  to FUSION. 

The result you see in my first post. Thanks for all the effort.
