Hi All,
I am struggling with how to describe this -- so am including some images. I am trying to create a circuit board from a sketch in an object design.
Create --> derive pathway causes crashes -- reports filed.
Create--> 3d-PCB generates a board. I can integrate it in 2D design but it fails when coming back to 3D view.
Attached is an image of the original sketch profile (upper left) , the 2D board view (upper right) and the 3D view (lower left) and the 3D edit board view (lower right). ( i can't upload images to the forum ???? -- just errors)
FWIW this is my second design attempt -- the inner circle originally did not have the 3 'arms' -- in that case the board was just the inner circle.
In board edit view I can only select the 3 pie pieces -- I am wondering if this has to do with the hole being near the centre of the board? As though the algorithm is working from middle out? Perhaps the can't be done ? (or i have to add the hole later - frustrating because it make need to be a specific cut out) .
I have watched several videos and scrolled forum -- i think I am following the right procedure -- a simple solid board works.

Richard @yqliu any thoughts on how to resolve this?
