Application mode-shape edit -not working

Lock2002
Lock2002 over 2 years ago

I am unable to edit shape corners. I typically convert all 90deg corners to a radius by manually setting the trim size. It isn't a file setting as I've confirmed it's not working on any file I open. It's still working for my coworkers and we have the same revision software so I know it must be an embedded setting that's causing the problem. I've verified the options settings and everything else that's obvious. I've also ran db doctor. Any thoughts?

    I'm assuming you are trying to corner an edge of the boundary (rather than part of the shape that is auto-generated??) I'm 99.9% certain there aren't any user preferences to set but to check close Allegro, go to your HOME folder and rename the pcbenv folder to pcbenv_old then start Allegro and try again. If this resolves the issue there must be something in the pcbenv folder that is causing this (env, allegro.ilinit....). You will have to redo any shortcut keys, paths etc. If it doesn't help delete the new pcbenv and revert to the pcbenv_old. Then can you post a screenshot of the corner you are trying to trim?

    I was forced to reboot last night (security update) and it's working again. I suppose I should have tried that first.
