Known Limitations

Goal

Clarify what the current version actually implements and which behaviors are product boundaries rather than regression bugs.

Current Known Limits

1. 3D only supports KiCad board files

  • the current 3D loader first checks whether the source is .kicad_pcb
  • non-KiCad sources show an unsupported message directly

2. Export can only start from 2D

  • the export button is unavailable in 3D and Data
  • there is no direct 3D image export path in the current version

3. Export is currently gated behind a separate unlock

  • if export access has not been unlocked yet, the workspace does not start export directly
  • tapping export opens the purchase center first
  • after purchase or restore succeeds, export becomes available again

4. SES cannot create a standalone new document

  • it must be launched from an existing document menu
  • a base revision must be chosen first

5. iOS Photos export only supports PNG

  • PDF, original-source export, and converted export do not go to Photos

6. macOS export only saves to files

  • there is no macOS Other Apps / Photos export path right now

7. Original-source export depends on the current revision being library-managed

  • the original-source export option only appears when the currently open revision is managed by the library
  • original-source export does not read directly back from a temporary external path

8. AI capability depends on external provider configuration

  • the settings page can configure multiple providers
  • actual usability depends on API keys, network access, and provider response

9. The language page is not an in-app instant language switcher

  • it mainly explains the system-level language path
  • after changing it, the app may need to be relaunched

10. Directory-style manufacturing inputs still depend on importer recognition

  • the fact that a source is a folder or archive does not guarantee that it will be recognized as a supported manufacturing input

How to Use This Page

  1. Before filing a bug, check whether the case falls inside one of these boundaries.
  2. If product behavior conflicts with this page, report it as a documentation-vs-implementation mismatch first.
  3. If a limitation is removed in the future, update the handbook and QA pages together.

What Does Not Count as a “Known Limitation”

  • reproducible crashes
  • blocking failures in a clearly supported path
  • regressions from previously stable behavior
