Possible bug in EasyEDA PCB design software

I'm working on a board, but one of the pins keeps getting connected to ground even though it is not in the GND net. It displays correctly in the EasyEDA design screen: ![PCB as shown in design tool][1] The image shows the top two pins (correctly) disconnected from the rest of the bottom layer ground plane. But if I use the Gerber viewer to view the board I get the following image: ![PCB as shown by gerber viewer][2] Notice that the top right (top left from the front) pin hole appears to be connected to the bottom layer ground plane. What's more, look what happens when I try to work around this by drawing the bottom copper area around the problem pin. ![working around the problem pin][3] ![problem jumps to the next pin][4] Notice how the problem jumps over to the next pin that still remains inside the copper area? I think there must be some problem with the way that the pcb design software is outputting gerber files. Perhaps it is forgetting to properly close a shape when drawing on the copper voids in the area?

I found another instance of this bug on the front of the board. The highlighted pin hole should have 4 spoke connections to the copper layer around it. ![enter image description here][1] But when rendered by the gerber viewer we see that one of the gaps between the spokes has disappeared just like the gap surrounding the pin pad in the last set of images. ![enter image description here][2] Hopefully this information helps someone find the bug.

Hello @Tutorials, the photo view look to be fixed, but the export/print is still not fixed. It still does not show all the tracks. Could you investigate and fix the export too please. (I have used the beta version to check.) ![enter image description here][1] P.S. My issue is reported here https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/tracks_not_showing_up_on_export-19vU2aceu and was marked as the same bug by @andyfierman. Thank you @andyfierman.

@tholder I can't duplicate this issue at export and print, are you delete your copper area and copper again? If yes, please send me your PCB to support@easyeda.com as https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/Export.htm#Exporting-EasyEDA-Source

Thank you for the help @Tutorials. If you do not rebuild the image is fine. If you just rebuild without saving the issue is still there, but when you rebuild and save it's working. Thank you again.

This did resolve the problem, but does it measn I now have to redraw the copper layers of all my boards before generating Gebers?

@koosjr You just need to save it again. the copper will be saved when saving. If your ordered PCBs have such a problem, we can refab it again for free after you show the error PCB. We are sure the Bug is fixed in the new version

Thanks Dillon. I currently have 2 boards that are affected. I will give them through for remanufacturing.
