PCB conversion sets location of pts at 0, 0 #117

Converting a PCBdoc from Altium, after conversion two of the pts are at 0, 0 and closing brackets for pts, polygon and zone are missing. During conversion, I see these error messages:

Overflow!

There are a few other warnings about uninitialized values, but maybe those should be a different issue. One thing at a time.

Let me know the best way to troubleshoot this, please. I can share the Altium files, or I can run some diagnostic / debug runs for you, if you guide me on how.

I just tried the new Altium Importer that has been integrated into Kicad itself (one in PcbNew and on in EESchema, to be found in "File -> Import -> Non-KiCad Files", and the results are much better than altium2kicad, so I would suggest to you use the KiCad integrated importer yourself instead of altium2kicad. If it works for you, please close this issue. If it doesn't work for you, please let me know.

Thank you! I'll give it a whirl
