issue generated : aborting film - Shape with first seg / 16.3 PCB editor

Hi,

 When I'm generating the artwork file (with 16.3 PCB editor), there is an error :

"ERROR: aborting film - Shape with first seg=(-17.7165 7.4930) [layer=BOTTOM]
 has a void with extents [(-55.9897 0.9178) (-48.7378 7.3327)] that touches
 another shape with first seg=(-24.1935 7.4930). Manually resolve problem"

 I already checked if I had several shapes for the bottom layer, I deleted some of them because there were several shapes when I generated the ground plane with the dynamic shape function.

When I decrease the shape surface (with the shape select function), this error does not appear anymore.

Could you help me on that error ?

 Regards.

    From the message, you have touching / overlapping static shapes on the Bottom layer of your board, you "manually resolve" the issue and the message goes away. What more do you need to know?
