How to update shape in one of layers?

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.

Hi David!

 Hope below code can help you.

axlCmdRegister( "uds" `update_shape_layer)
(defun update_shape_layer ()
All_shapes = axlDBGetShapes("ETCH")
All_shapes = setof(el All_shapes el->shapeBoundary != nil)
update_layers = nil

sub_info = car(setof(e axlVisibleGet() member("ETCH" e) != nil ))->subclassinfo
sub_vis = reverse(setof(e sub_info cadr(e) == t))
if(sub_vis != nil then
foreach(item sub_vis
update_layers = cons(strcat("ETCH/",car(item)) update_layers)
);end foreach

update_shapes = setof(el All_shapes member(el->layer update_layers) != nil)
printf("Selected layers:%L\n", update_layers)
foreach(shape_id update_shapes
aa = axlShapeDynamicUpdate(shape_id->shapeBoundary t)
if(aa != 0 then printf("update failed\n"))
);end foreach
);end if
);end defun update_shape_layer
