Not enough intersections when creating break tabs #79

Open patzik opened 5 years ago

patzik commented 5 years ago

I use the latest build as I cannot build the latest version myself. When 'joining' 2 boards I am unable to create the break tabs. I keep getting the "not enough intersections" message on the tabs.

Same here :/

I built the latest from github as of a couple days ago (Version 1.0.6975.23240) and this error occurs if the tab is too small compared to the gap between boards or offset from the center of the gap between boards. OSHPark requires at least 0.1" between boards on a panel. I am using metric, so I used a 3mm gap to make it simple. With that, and using 3mm tabs, it is working for me. Centering the tab between boards using the up down controls for X and Y does make a prettier tab.

It was actually pretty painless to build it on Windows. Download Visual Studio 17 Community, check it out from github using Team | Manage Connections | Local Git Repositories | Clone and enter the URL from "Clone or Download" from the Code page for this repository. Follow the instructions for building on Windows. There were some errors in some tools, but the panelizer built fine and just run the .exe.

I don ´t want sound to lazy, but could upload here or somewhere you compiled version? Thx for answer.

When you compile it yourself, it doesn't go the same place as the distributions. The .exes are buried in debug bin directories, different from a distribution. There are batch files to build a distribution, but they are dependent on a particular machine directory setup. I haven't figured that out but I think the build I did if transferred to a different computer won't find everything it needs to run.

I just build the latest version, and still get the same error, also tried the above settings. Very frustrating...

Try moving the tabs with the controls. I think they move in 0.1 mm increments. Centering them that way seemed to make the best centered tabs. You can also change the grid size to be smaller.

Used the binary in this version and it solved my issue

I encountered this, you can see both Gerber files are in red. I recreated my border outline and make sure it is properly closed with the smallest number of vertices. After doing that, it worked perfectly.
