3. selecting trace and pad (flash)

4. fabrication -> teardrop (chosen teardrop) -> ok

after this step no change occurs, but while manually imported Gerber data able to produce teardrop.

Thanks for sending the sample file.  The reason the teardrops did not occur in certain regions what the pad and trace has a different composite level.  https://support.numericalinnovations.com/support/discussions/topics/14000002419 

Composite level determine what's dark/clear and the sequence in which the objects are drawn.  We have updated FAB 3000 to create a teardrop no matter the composite level - assuming both are the same polarity (Dark or Clear).  Here's a screen capture of the teardrop feature now working in those areas, and we'll have the update of FAB 3000 available in a few days.

Best regards,

Simon
