I have a project where I work on a panel with nine small PCBs in a 3 x 3 grid. Each small PCB has its own GND net and zone. This project and board were created with KiCad 5 still. It seems that now, since it became a .kicad_pcb file, the zones don’t fill anymore. Is there anything to look out for?
This is the old board (note the warning about it being the old format):
Oh of course I hit that B button hard! And as I said, I didn’t the touch the zones a single time, not sure if a vertex could still get relocated? I also get no error message or anything in the DRC - or is there anywhere else I could look out for information about the zones not filling…
Huh, okay… I worked on the PCB some more time - unrelated work, changing footprints, making traces, … - and now it works again… Now I can’t replicate it anymore…
I have of course restarted both KiCad and PCBnew itself before posting here (actually several times) but it didn’t help at that time… The changes I made in the meanwhile where only on four of the nine boards on the panel and each small board has its own zones, so I don’t think the changes - which also weren’t zone related - had anything to do with it…
