Hi Jean Pierre,

I also found a problem in the new version with Zone fill:

I needed a pad to be round on one side and right-angled on the other 
side. To do that, I ploted an ARC on the solder-side. This makes an 
extra copper area exactly as I need. The only problem is that Zone-Fill 
is ignoring that extra copper area and is making a short :( (I could 
workaround using the zone clearence)

Do you need a sample file? If I send only the .brd file, is it ok?

Thanks, the zones are great!! Good work.

Alain
