STM32CubeMX CAD Export Options (e.g. KiCAD) missing

Hello ST Community,

STM32CubeMX 6.16.0 release summary:
– Migrated to SamacSys as a new CAD provider for STM32CubeMX

With the new version of the stm32cubemx, the CAD tab in tools (see screenshot) is missing the previously available KiCAD and other options.

Available options are: (Open Standard, ACIS, Khronos, AutoDesk, Open CASCADE, Siemens, Rhino, STL, Pixar, RS, Mentor).

Export to KiCAD used to be available, even the featured video
"A quick STM32CubeMX overview, From Ultra librarian" on the STM32CubeMx Product Overview features Altium, KiCAD and Cadence,... as export options in the dropdown menu.

Componentsearchengine.com supports KiCAD, Altium, ... therefor I am confused why it is not supported in the STM32CubeMX.
Is that intended? Do we have to use an older STM32CubeMX Version if we want the export to KiCAD option?


Bug1: Selecting STL and pressing the download button crashes STM32CubeMX after choosing a file location(see screenshot 2)

Bug2: Selecting STL and another File Format and downloading twice in a row crashes STM32CubeMX as well.

I have not tried it on another machine yet.
