OK, it's a STEP file bug and we will direct that to the correct programmer.

Thanks!

Hi Tom,
 
I don't really need any of those. 

What the issue is the pin 1 marking on the Step file output didn't follow the pin 1 on the part when it was mirrored and rotated inside of Library Expert (version 2017.13). 

The footprint for xPCB cell was fine, but the STEP file output was incorrect. 

This appears to be a bug.

Do you want us to add "Transformer" to the component selection?

Do you want us to add "Pin Rename" to the SOFL component family?

You can move the part to FP Designer and do whatever you want.

But you can use the Calculator to produce a high quality 3D STEP.

Hi, I create a transformer using transistor footprint SOFL since it used the same package.  But the XFMR has a slightly rotated pinout which I was able to change for the land pattern.  But when I generated the 3d Step file, the pin 1 marking didn't follow along and is incorrect in the step file.
Please see images below.
