I’m defining custom bridges as described in this post and that works fine. However it breaks DRC and the 3D viewer with “Board outline is missing or malformed” errors. Even if placing the Edge.Cut lines outside the board contour, as recommended by the mentioned post, I’m unable to please DRC. What am I missing? Thanks

Currently, this is “intended” until we implement an extra layer in KiCad like we did with ODB++ so you’ll need to add the bridge marker in the last design step.

For now, just click on the errors and tell KiCad to ignore them.

It would be good to allow the custom bridges on a user defined layer (Custom.Bridges) as well instead of only the Edge.Cuts layer.
Ignoring the DRC errors is not a good solution :
- you will not get a decent 3D render when the custom bridges violate the DRC
- when your design is automatically checked through a CI/CD workflow, it is not possible to ignore these errors…
If you want I can write the user guide on how to add this layer and how to use it for custom bridges.
