[Solved] 5.99 - Graphic polygons displayed unfilled while they're correctly filled in the 3D viewer

[Efcis]

Hi

I have several graphic polygons on the front silkscreen that appear unfilled in Pcbnew while they’re correctly filled in the 3D viewer.

I searched for an option/command to fill/unfill polygons in Pcbnew without success. Is it a bug or a PEBCAK ?

Thanks !

As a very simple test I just put a polygon on F.Silk:

Then I noticed you are on V5.99, while I have V5.1.6. which makes comparison pretty much futile I’m afraid. Me guess that putting V5.99 in the title for V5.99 issues would be a good idea.

But still:
On which layer is your polygon? Could that be the issue?

[Efcis]

They’re on the front silkscreen like yours.

I really suspect a switch somewhere but can’t find it.

[craftyjon]

Graphic polygons can’t be unfilled like zones. I suspect this is a bug.

Could this be the bug which affected copper zones? https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5594

[Efcis]

Here’s the file - I don’t see anything suspect (except the wrong indentation of the first point of each polygon). The polygons are around line 1650.

Good catch ! For a rectangle, one of the two dimensions must be >= 10mm to get a filled polygon. If not, it remains unfilled

That bug was fixed, so you should try with a newer nightly build.

[Efcis]

Indeed. The latest nightly is OK Thanks !
