Hexpansion STEP file does not match documentation.

The Hexpansion STEP 3D model does not match the mechanical drawing from the documentation.

The drawing shows the tab sticking out of the hexagon, forming a 14.25mm distance from the mounting hole axis:

The STEP file, on the other hand, has the tab flush with the hexagon edge, forming a 12.50mm distance from the mounting hole axis.

Given that the KiCad project appears to match the mechanical drawing, my guess is that the STEP model is outdated and needs to be replaced.

In addition it looks like there's a small error in the mechanical drawing, since the lines are marked as being separated by 3.525mm, but 17.5mm minus 14.25mm is 3.5mm.

Ah, the step file is from the original version of the hexpansion, which had the connector flush.

We'll get this updated :)
