Copper zones are critical things. Inflate polygons using a generic algorithm can create some unwanted shapes in a few cases. Merging segments to main outline avoid possible issues. For non critical cases, inflating polygons should be OK. -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
