CADFeko - Gerber export

Hello,

 

I have an issue with creating a gerber file from a CADFeko model that I made. The problem seems to rise when there is hollowed out geometry. For instance, my file consists of many many of such geometry:

 

example.PNG.1c09fa1649d347100438d3022ab114da.PNG

 

When I export my model, I get a gerber file which only shows filled up squares. I don't see any of the inner 'rings'. When I do a test with the same dimension but a form like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>gerber_problem_01.thumb.PNG.8fafd493e530d025643d665be0941a5e.PNG

 

The gerber file shows the appropriate geometry.

I'm wondering if it's an issue with my FEKO model or the way gerber file works.

This is my first time with gerber files and FEKO so I'm sorry if this question is very basic.

 

Thank you

    Hello Sneezy,

     

    This sounds like a bug in the Gerber import. Could you add the Gerber file so that I can take a look?
