help on shape fill when using axlDBCreateShape..

Hi everyone,

 I am currently working on a certain program wherein a certain cline segment will be converted to shape(version of allegro used is 16.5).. i was able to generate the shape by first getting the polygon object of the cline then use it on axlDBCreateShape.. refer to code below..

clineDbid = (dbid of cline to converted to shape)

polyDbid = car(axlPolyFromDB(clineDbid ?endCapType 'SQUARE))

axlDBCreateShape(polyDbid t layer netName) 

The program works fine but the main problem is the shape fill type. As default, solid fill shape or dynamic copper type should be generated but whenever i run the program, static crosshatch type is generated.. I need the shapes generated to be in solid fill shape/dynamic type..

Thanks..

    Sorry, I'm running out of ideas. 

    Does is happen on every net?

    Does it happen on a brand new design?

    Does it happen if you add a shape manually?
