Hello there,
I am trying to export my PCB design but the polygon is not visible on the DXF.
This is the altium design:
and here is the DXF export:
I don't understand why the circle is full and why the order is empty.

Modifications don't always go right.
Yesterday morning I tried to replace the PCB WiFi / BT antenna on a Avnet SmartEdge with an external one.
I had to place a fitting connector on a footprint and turn a resistor 90° to route the signal to it.
