274X supports polygon shapes

Question

Eagle’s 274X output is vector based. 274X supports polygon shapes (outlines) filled solid as a copper pour. Eagle’s 274X is not utilizing this available option causing huge files.

Is there a way to remedy?

WarrenBrayshaw · Answer

Large file sizes can occur because one has used a small wire size for polygons.

If you use a zero width wire, the files are really big. The polygons look really nice though.

The polygon wire size should be a balance between the biggest you can tolerate and the smallest needed to achieve the detail needed.
