Trimming specific shape refer to other layer shape

Hi All

there is 2 different layer shapes, the one shape is made by following the Cline of +12V net which is highlighted (red color), the other is large GND net (yellow)

I want to cut the red shape refer to the yellow shape boundary. I tried to cut using Shape Operations function, but it didn't do well that I want

that is just sample test, actual board that I design has quite complex shape (not retangle) so I need that function.

Is there any good way to solve this problem?

regard.

    If it is a dynamic shape, you could create a cline line seg with the appropriate clearance (DRC).  Then make the shape static and delete the cline seg.

    If you need the shape to be dynamic, I would create a anti ecth before updating the dynamic shape.
