.. that means probably your Gerber viewer or CAM software is not
capable to display the filled polygon. Which gerber viewer do you
use? (BTW, some old versions of reasonable, expensive CAM software
can't handle this, like the old DOS ECAM versions. I love the option
in my CAM output to "paint" polygones with line draws instead of
using the full RS274X possibilities)

G36*
X2Y4D2*
X7D1*
Y7D1*
X2D1*
Y4D1*
G37*

G36 means all from here up to the next G37 is a filled polygon. If
you or your CAM software forgets the G36, G37, then it remains a
standard drawn line with the last current aperture - you see drawn
the polygon outline only. Your software seems to be a bit more
intelligent: It can't display it correctly, bur it knows at least
that this is something special and not only a dumb drawed line.

If you're interested and the Gerbers are not highly confidential,
send me the file, I 'll check it with my CAM350  (which is able to
handle this stuff) and with my old old DOS based GC-PREDITOR (which
might be able, but I don't know exacly, had no such stuff to
check in these ancient times)

HTH, best regards
