Bug Description
In Pcbnew, it is possible to create circles and arcs with a diameter of zero by setting the 'Point X' and 'Point Y' properties to the same as the 'Center X' and 'Center Y' values (note that both have to be the same; one pair the same and one pair different results in a non-zero diameter).
If a zero diameter circle is the only object on the Edge.Cuts layer, this causes the board not to be rendered in the 3D viewer (on other layers, this doesn't seem to affect the viewer, and nor would I expect it to).
This may also cause problems for other processes e.g., the VRML exporter, as reported in bug 1371656.
I can work up a patch to the edit dialog to prevent this being allowed. Are there any other code branches which could result in a zero-diameter circle?
