ODB++ export/import of concave shapes

#1 Post by GMinchin » 21 Oct 2025, 09:13

Something smells weird with ODB++ export or import. I'm not sure which.
Here are my steps:

Create a board that looks like Pacman, i.e. rounded and concave, using a couple of arcs.
Create a copper pour using "by border", with 1mm clearance.
Export as ODB++ using the default settings.
New file / clear the workspace.
File / Import / ODB++
Select the file you just created.
Observe the weirdness in the copper pour.

I tried playing with the concave/convex slider and can't find a way to make it do what you'd expect it to. I don't have any other software that would help me determine whether it's the export or import that's weird. I'm using the latest version of DipTrace, 5.2.0.1
