    In the find filter select shapes. On the tool bar look for the shape select Icon. It looks like an open arrow. Click on the shape then right click Update. Right click and select done after the update completes.

    Thanks your reply.

    I know this way.

    I'm running a huge board. It have lots of shape,etch,32 layers cause Allegro is very slow.

    If there have the ways can only update one layer's shape. It can be more efficient.
