Yes, I have suffered from this also, and I fix it in autocad with the hatch commands. In order to be able to hatch just the pins, be sure and give the pins their own autocad layer during the dxf export setup. In fact, you need to have one layer for top pins and one layer for bottom pins.

Everything we have tried, the pads come out "hollow" but what we need is for the pads to come out solid, like we see in the actual gerbers. Does anyone have any ideas? Or can you at last point us in the right direction? Thanks in advance, Dharma KAW/USA Ltd. 39 Simon Street, #4 Nashua, NH 03060 603-886-8711 x212 603-881-8763 fax Confidentiality Notice: This email and any accompanying documents contain information that is confidential, privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.
