Adding dynamic shape violates DRC rules

mvonahnen

 For some reason,  a setting has changed which now causes added dynamic shapes to create DRC errors.  I have 32 shapes that don't violate the rules, but I added one to the bottom, with exactly the same parameters and it cause 70+ DRC errors.

     Can you post a picture of the shape?
    Click on one of the DRCs and post the error message.  Very difficult to debug from your description.

    Not sure how to do that, can I insert a PLT file output here in the forum?

     The active window can be grabbed in Windows by using "ALT"+"PRTSC" .  Then go into MS Paint and edit->paste.  Save as a JPEG.

    Use the options tab when making your post to add the screen shot JPEG.

     I have added one image of the problem areas.  The dynamic shape decided to connect to my unused pins (dummy nets).   It also connected the through via's with live nets.  It was set to connect to my GND trace.

     Hmmm... that pic is not enough to tell.

    1) Turn of cross hatching as a test

    2) What is the shape net name?

    Try selecting the shape, choose defer dynamic fill, then done. Does that help? 

    A quick test on one of my boards shows no issue with x-hatch.
