I am using the latest version of KiCad with the Export to Blender plugin. I export a simple PCB to disk and then try and import it into Blender 4.2.1.0 but the following error message is displayed:

Am I missing a step or what might be wrong?

Ah, seems like that happens if you aren't in Object Mode when importing. Switching to Object Mode before should fix it.

Thanks for that 👍
I can now import my PCB however, I notice there are no tracks or Silkscreen - is that to be expected?
