The only fix required was to get the board outline onto Edge>Cuts . . .
. . . then the fill works.

If you want more investigation please post the original V8 project . . .
Hello, I too am having a problem getting a zone fill with KiCad 9. I have a board outline on the edge cuts layer and have all my THT parts laid out on the front copper layer. I go to the back copper layer and do a filled outline and call the net pwr_gnd. I followed the board outline except in the four corners that are rounded, so the zone is rectangular and goes beyond the board outline. The outline has short hash marks indicating it is a proper zone. Problem is when I do a âall zones fillâ (it is the only zone) nothing happens, still have the hash marks, but no solid fill. What am I missing? Help and thanks.
I have a few boards that started in V8 and ended in V9 (with and without layout). No problems, all went well.
One might call it naive to switch versions during a project, but with KiCad, I never had problems. For me, KiCad is a very reliable tool!
Do you have the correct options selected here?
I thought I had both the right vertical bar âDraw Filled Zonesâ and the left vertical bar âDraw Zone Fillsâ both selected, but I guess not. So I clicked on both of those icons and now I get the solid fill. Thanks so much.
We canât learn anything from projects that have no issues going from V8.x.y â V9.x.y hence me asking for the V8 project.
