I can not try the patch here now, but maybe this can fix the issue mentioned in this thread:
https://forum.kicad.info/t/gerber-to-footprint/435 DXF file linked in https://forum.kicad.info/t/gerber-to-footprint/435/13 2015-06-18 16:29 GMT+02:00 Marco Hess <[email protected]>: > Following up on recent previous discussions and patches re. DXF import, here > is a patch that fixes the problem of imported ellipses remaining an open > shape. > > The DXF format polylines and lwpolylines have a 'flags' field of which bit 0 > indicates if the polyline/lwpolyline is to be closed or open.

If the bit is set to 1, an extra closing segment is > generated between the last segment endpoint and the remembered polyline > start point. > > Also attached a ellipses DXF in R12 format exported from LibreCAD that I > used to test this patch. It clearly shows the open segment when imported. > With the patch in place the DXF imports correctly shows as a closed > polyline. > > Regards, > > Marco > > -- > Marco Hess > > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
