No Altium Designer for CAD symbols generation

[markopesevski_PI]

Hi there! Thank you for reading this.

Where has the support for exporting footprints/symbols to Altium Designer from STM32CubeMX gone?

In the promotional video from https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubemx.html it appears there is an option for doing this, but when I try it on a recent version of STM32CubeMX no option is available.

What am I missing here?

 

Check following screenshot of promotional video vs. STM32CubeMX side by side.

STM32CubeMX version: 6.16.0

I've found a temporary workaround in case anyone happens to stumble upon this same issue. Maybe this can help point the team in the right direction as well.

Making the following change in your *.ioc STM32CubeMX project file enables selecting the "Altium Designer" option again in the "Tools > CAD" menu. Take care that when you save the project again from STM32CubeMX, it overwrites it, undoing the workaround.
