I made a component that consists of 2 pads and a silkscreen outline. I made the silkscreen outline a closed shape and then selected filled and hatched. Within EasyPC, the component displays properly. However, when I generated the Gerber file, it only shows the silkscreen outline with no hatching. (I checked the Gerber output using 2 different viewers and both only show the outline.)
Further investigation revealed that if I changed the component to include a solid, filled shape, then the Gerber file outputs the solid shape and not just the outline. Also, if I copy and paste the component from a PCB design and into the Component Library editing a PCB Symbol screen, then the hatching (which was visible within the PCB Design) disappears and only the outline is again visible.
If I create a filled, hatched shape within a PCB Design, the Gerber outputs properly. However, if the filled, hatched shape is part of a component and then that component is placed into a PCB Design, the component looks correct within the EasyPC PCB Design, but the Gerber output only displays the outline.
I am using EasyPC version 13.0.3. |
