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..

Check your shape_add_filltype setting

shape add setting is already set to dynamic but still the output remain the same.. is there a way to return user preferences set up back to default setting?. This may help test the routine if user preferences affects the output of the axl function..

Try exiting Allegro and renaming your HOME folder before trying again.
