Hi
The only way i have been able to get zones away from edge-cuts is by increasing line-with of edge-cuts.
This is ofcourse not good.
adjusting the clearance of the zone will adjust all clearences not only to edge-cut
this setting should acutally be under: design-rules, edge keep-keep-out
or ?
is there a good way to do this ?
Welcome to the club - been there about 12 20 months ago - been told it’s OK as it is.
Sorry.
Why does the line thickness of the edge.cuts layer graphic lines influence the setback of a filled zone?
Check out these two screenshots I made, how different settings for the line width influences the zone fill clearance to the edge of the board, which by definition should be the center of the line, not the edge…?!
This would make sense if that line width would define the milling width, but that is not the case and not how the edge.cuts layer is supposed to work.
edge line with 0.5 mm width,…

hehe
well its not OK as it is.
Lets fight
fight for a change that is…
I don’t have time to program on yet another project, so yeah, feel free. The bugtracker links should give you something to work with I guess as someone even posted a first band-aid solution - no idea how that one holds up for the remainder of the code though

It looks like a bug to me. All I can do right now is to tell I’m affected by this bug and suscribe to the bug report to increase its visibility.
tested and confirmed in:
KiCAD BZR 6097, in module pcbnew
KiCAD 4.0.0 RC1, in module pcbnew
