    Description

    When the Export Step option is used in the 8.99 PCB Editor it fixes a number of bugs currently present in the 8.0.5 release.

    Its a fantastic improvement but inner-layer positioning has a bug when dealing with a 4L board stack-up.

    I have attached a project file and a step model and a jpg file showing the issue. In2.Cu should be separated from the B.Cu layer by 40um as defined in the board stack up. Instead it is separated by 60um. It appears that the In2.Cu layer is embedded into the Dielectric2 layer instead of sitting beneath it.

    The separation between In1.CU and F.Cu appears to be correct SMD_test.kicad_pcb SMD_test.step cu_layers
