Unable to load Gerber file

[Zulfqar Ali]

Just upgraded from version 8.99 to 8.991 since I could not save project file. But in version 8.991 I can’t open a gerber file at all, see console dump:

Tried to restart application and totally uninstall and new install didn’t help either.

Hope I am doing something wrong.

Hi Zulfqar,

Can you please post the offending Gerber file?
Thanks!

[Zulfqar Ali]

Hi Marius,

‌

Please find the attached gerber files. .Top and .Bot are not readable but .drl and .outline are loading and ploting fine

[Marius Stanciu]

Nothing is attached … You could edit the issue and add the file.

[Zulfqar Ali]

Hi Marius,

Do you see them now?

[Marius Stanciu]

Yeap. Which one you tried to load and posted the text above?

Hi again,

.Top and .Bot are not readable but .drl and .outline are loading and ploting fine

It was a simple thing to solve once I saw where it is the issue.
I made some changes recently and that was creating the problem.

Sometime I feel like at circus juggling balls, you change things here you break them there … Besides that was important since I own a license of Circuit Studio and it will not do to not be able to load the Gerber’s for it.

Hi Marius,

That was a quick, juggling balls is like story of my life :)

Thanks, I will wait for 8.992 release .

Fixed. The fix will be available in version 8.992 when published.
