0 width dimension layer not handled properly #21

Closed clemtaylor closed 9 years ago

clemtaylor commented 9 years ago

In eagle I normally use 0 width lines to make up the board dimension layer. svgerber does not seem to use the 0 width lines to define the board perimeter so the board dimension seems to be purely bounding box based.

This is a section from eagle: image

And the same in gerbv: image

It renders in svgerber as: image

The board outline layer comes up blank in svgerber, unlike the clockblock example.

What is svgerber expecting in the dimension layer?

Hi! Can you please open this issue in svgerber with a copy of your outline layer if possible? This issue is related to the board builder there; gerber-to-svg is only concerned with individual layer image generation. Also, can you try setting the width of the outline layer to something non-zero and see if that works?

svgerber is expecting a manifold (i.e. no gaps; there's currently no gap filling capability) trace or set of traces with a width that is greater than 0. The width thing is arbitrary, and will be ditched when I find the time to switch svgerber over to using tracespace/pcb-stackup.
