Cosmetic and ignorable but a little disconcerting at first. Noted - this is an artefact of the drawing the translucent ring, which is in fact a 360 degree arc shape. We don't currently composite the shape into a non-overlapping entity, we just draw - hence the dark spot. Not a huge priority to fix this at the moment. > B1 Overlapping pads aren't visible. (These are needed to get reduced paste masks) Aren't visible where? This (probably) isn't expected behaviour - can you send me a simple test case to look at? I think that in this case, we DO composite the pads together, so you'll not see the overlay as a dark spot like on the rat ring. > B2 Vias on pads aren't showing up either, probably same issue as B1 Again - not expected, could you send me a test-case. A screen-shot highlighting the problems would help, to ensure that it isn't a rendering problem specific to some particular graphics setup. Thanks! -- Peter Clifton Clifton Electronics
