Board outline incomplete when using edge rails (4.1.2.0)

#1 Post by BuGG » 11 May 2021, 02:01

I'm having an issue since upgrading to v4.1.2.0 that wasn't happening with 3.x...

If I add edge rails to a panelized board with chamfered corners the board outline becomes incomplete in the Gerber. This was brought to my attention by my PCB fabricator, and verified in Ucamco.

I have layouts that have worked properly for years but now no longer export correctly since upgrading. No changes were made to the files.

For example, if I panelize this board and add edge rails the gerber exports correctly.

But if I chamfer the corners the gerber board outline becomes incomplete:

If I remove the edge rails the gerber exports correctly again:

Another observation; if I increase the board height to 1.95" (subpanel) the Gerber will export correctly.

Appears to be fixed in the 4.1.3.0 update, thank you very much!
