Error in PCB step file output.

sonic1

I'm getting a strange error when I generate a step file from the PCB below. I used the purple outline layer to define the board shape.

 

Any ideas what is happening here?

 

Thanks,

Jeff.

    It could be the way the outline has been drawn confusing the step output process. I have seen similar things before where the 3D view of the board within the application is correct yet there are discrepancies in the step output. Usually adjusting the outline or redrawing a section can help but may need some experimentation.
