Hello,
I'm guessing this is a bug but would love to know if there is a quick fix for this! I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me quickly due to a deadline...
I've attached two screenshots, one of my overlapping shape design in Diptrace (bottom image) and one of how the Gerber viewer looks on JLCpcb (top image)
This happens if the shapes are on the top or bottom layer and no matter if they are on the signal layer or mask layer (or both). Also interesting is that I have several shapes like this in the design and the change will only happen to some of them.
-I'm using the newest version of Diptrace with Windows 11/P14s Think Pad
thank you
Copper and Mask shapes are completely different in Gerber

Re: Copper and Mask shapes are completely different in Gerber
A similar issue has not been encountered before, and we were unable to reproduce it on a comparable design. Please send the design file to our technical support team — we will be glad to help you.

In the meantime, you can try recreating the design using one of the tools “Obround” or “Arc.” The problem might not occur with one of them.

That method of using an Arc instead of an Obround (which was giving the issue) seems to have fixed the gerber glitch
