Hi Wayne, This is a logic fault (definitely a bug). The exporter composes each layer by creating a single layer of outlines and a single layer of cutouts. When the cutouts are applied at a later stage, in this instance the text in the circle is obliterated. A little thought is required here; I suspect it will be possible to distinguish between drill holes and circular holes within a graphical object and to apply slightly different algorithms to produce the expected effect.
If you compose the circle of 2 arcs (or 4 arcs using the somewhat limited editor) you will not have that problem. - Cirilo On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 6:43 AM, Wayne Stambaugh <stambau...@gmail.com> wrote: > When I export the attached board to VRML.
