What causes BoardOutline/Cutouts to not show in the 3D canvas?

RFinley over 5 years ago

Not finding help on diagnosing this on CDNS website or just what it is expecting. Just me? B-)

The 3D canvas needs a lot of work within Allegro, sorry. Just my opinion. I mess with it occasionally, but not often. There is a 'proper way' to do the cutouts, but haven't played with it enough to figure it out completely. The board outline should always come up though, unless maybe it's not contiguous (a complete outline, end to end). If you run into fixes let us all know. Thanks.

Firstly - there is Hotfix S007 but are you using the correct subclasses? Sine 17.2 was introduced Outline is no longer the preferred subclass, you should use Design_Outline (which must be a closed shape) and Cutout for cutouts. Both are under Board_Geometry class.

I misspoke. Yep. have an un-filled shape on design_outline and shapes on cutout that were copied from ncroute_path. Wanted to make sure everyone understood the question. B-)

off to download sp7. Thanks steve! (wow, there's two parts this time..)
