masamasa
masamasa over 2 years ago

hello

 

i would like to have an outline shape placed on "substrate geometry/outline" exported as gerber but the gerber file is empty and gives me the following warning.

 

how can i export the outline shape as gerber?

 

can the outline shape have no 0 width line?

 

should i convert the outline shape to a line?

 

how can i change a shpae to a line?

 

regards

masa

    You could try setting the undefined line width for that artwork film to 0.001mm (or something similar) and see if that helps. If it doesn't use Shape - Decompose Shape then set the options pane as required and convert the shape to lines. Give these a thickness (hover right click - Change Width) then try again,
