I didn't suggest that Edge.Cut segments from footprints were not processed by the gerber plotter. This is why the work around actually works. There is no code in Pcbnew that combines edge cuts from all possible sources into a single geometric entity for things like DRC enclosed polygon checks and 3D model outline rendering. This code needs to be implemented before we allow drawing on the FE edge cut layer. Otherwise, the very next bug reports will be about these issues being broken. Users who use this hack, understand this limitation in Pcbnew.
