    All that skill code does is to run the command 'shape check'

    Below is the documentation:

    shape check

    The shape check command identifies small or narrow areas that might cause problems during artwork generation. The layout editor identifies these problems with circular figures, called shape problems, which are the same size and color as DRC markers. These circular figures display on a subclass of the MANUFACTURING class called SHAPE PROBLEMS, which is created only after the layout editor detects a shape problem.

    When checking static solid fill shapes for vector-based artwork (Gerber 4x00 and Gerber 6x00 artwork formats), the layout editor is limited to checking apertures of 4 mils or greater as specified in the Enter Smallest Aperture Available dialog box. For dynamic shapes, same the value is used as specified in the Minimum Aperture field on the Void Controls tab of the Global Dynamic Shape Parameters dialog box.

    Hi David，Hoangkhoi,

    Thank for the reply, the shape check do not support muti-shape check， select the shape one by one to check is not very high efficiency， so hope to get skill to auto-check with muti-shapes ,thanks!
