Gerber Import Issue - unexpected move format
«

In my Gerber viewer things look correct. Importing to Cambam 1.0 has parts missing along with the message "unexpected move format". There doesn't seem to be log file or anything to help me tie the error message to a specific line so I don't know if the error is in the Gerber or the import.
Images and Gerber attached.
Any ideas?

Perhaps it's related to Gerber version. Gerber files I export (from DipTrace) open correctly and I haven't looked deeper into what version it uses. There are 2 export options: Gerber and Gerber X2. I always select Gerber .

I just tried using X2 but that has not helped.
I've used the Gerber import many times in the past but this is the first time I've had this issue.
I just tested the Gerber on the reference viewer and no error there

Something must have changed nevertheless in the meantime. PCB program, CB plugin, OS ...

Well the file is different, of necessity. If I remove the copper pour, I can work around the issue, sort of.
Can someone please try the supplied file on their system to see if they can reproduce the issue?

Ah, I didn't see the file attached.
Same error trying to open it here. Unfortunately.

Try changing the thermal settings and bridges settings, as well as the copper pour distance from the tracks.
What PCB CAD program are you using?

I have tried that, even to the point of having no relief at all (not really practical). It just moves the problem to a new location. Certainly reliefs seem to be the thing that is causing Cambam difficulty.
I'm using Kicad 5.1.8.
Win 10 76 bit
Cambam1.0 plus
PS: I wonder if there is a limit to the number of points in a poinlist? The pour has over 1262 points
PPS: I've noe tested on three different computers. Two with Win 10 x64 and one Win 7 x32. Same problem in all cases.
