Does not support ground polygon

[joe9]

Hello,

It appears that Visolate fails with the below exception when there are any polygons in the pcb.

test files used:

test.sch: schematic file: http://codepad.org/7EfApPjh
test.pcb: pcb file: http://codepad.org/5JusexrR
gerber file, output of the command: pcb -x gerber --verbose --metric --gerberfile test_board test.pcb: test_board.top.gbr: http://codepad.org/XVquxoKx

btw, it works without the polygon in the pcb.

Is there workaround using polygons? I also get:

I use designspark 7.1 to create gerber files.

Is there workaround using polygons?

Yes. Two of them:

1. Change your design to not have polygons. When milling with Voronoi paths, polygons make not too much sense anyways. If you want to cover an area with copper, simply draw its outline with regular tracks, the Voronoi algorithm will make it one surface, then.
2. Write the code which handles polygons.

Hum, wow, 2020 and this is not fixed!
This means it will not work with PCB.
