Closed bug report

"is driving Fusion / Exporting GERBERS" panel stays open after the export has finished

Glenn Jones · 7d ago ·closed by Colby Knox

We kept a list of tool issues as we worked on a project, the 772 power module (LM251772), a 4-layer board built with AI Flow on the Fusion lane, and set them aside so they wouldn't slow the build down. Now that the project is finished, we're filing them together. Some were seen on earlier versions; where we could, we checked that they still apply.

Versions: fusion-bridge 1.13.67.

What happens: after a successful fusion_export_gerbers, the bridge's ADOM tool window ("ADOM is driving Fusion — Exporting GERBERS", earlier showing 95 %) stayed on screen indefinitely. The user saw it several times and thought an export was still running. We closed it with fusion_close_window on its hwnd.

Expected: the panel closes (or changes to "done") when the verb returns.

No design files attached; happy to describe more on request.

Thanks, Glenn. Fixed in fusion-bridge 1.13.72, which is public. Update the bridge; Fusion needs one restart to load the new add-in.

The cause was a timing bug: if a second message reached the panel while it was already showing, the panel could never close. It now closes within a few seconds of the verb answering.

We tested by asking Fusion whether the panel was visible, after a single export and after two in a row: it was up as the export ended and gone within 8 seconds.
