Hello, is there any way to obtain SVG's or STL's for a pcb drawing. Kind of like a stencil for the PCB. Here is my picture (in PDF and PNG format) of the PCB.

The PDF has better quality

every layer must be separated. You certainly do not want the screen printing to turn into copper

It depends on which CAD package you are using.

You mean, input a PDF or PNG and then obtain an SVG or STL file? No, I don't think so. Once it's a bitmap, you can't easily go back to vector.

It's not really for important purposes, just to overlay it on a 3d block so i can make a custom case. All components are thru hole, so no need for dual layer picture
so you needed only dimension layer to print
Uhh.... i dont know what a dimension letter is
Oh no...
i need the holes on the pcb
also whenever I try to add your svg onto tinkercad, it says "Tinkercad could not find any elements"
Hey guys, just found a solution to this problem. I used this website to convert my SVG to an STL which is liked by tinkercad. https://svg2solid.rknt.de/
TinkerCAD ? learning platform for kids?
i using OpenSCAD when need 3D model, just import( *.SVG) and linear_extrude.
but
1.svg must be in C:/Program Files folder
i am a kid

I tried to import an svg to the Open SCAD but i am unable to addan svg? I am on mac
i think OpenSCAD looking for a file in upper level folder of itself.
you can drop svg in OpenSCAD folder and using filename string as
linear_extrude(1)import("OpenSCAD/1.svg");
wdym?
openscad.exe is in folder OpenSCAD,
one level higher is folder Program Files,
one level higher is root folder of disk C:
