Manual void of shape

Normally when you void a shape, it will void exactly according to the DRC. Im just wondering if there is a way to void a shape that will snap on the current grid. It will be easier to edit stub/antenna created by voiding when the shape is on grid. by the way, im using 15.7 and 16.2 Thank you very much.... John Carlo

    I don't think so. In 16.2, don't know about 15.7, you can select the shape and assign a hatch pattern to the shape. You can then specify that the Voiding for that shape snaps to the hatch grip, Void Controls>"Snap voids to hatch grid". I am not sure that will help in your case though.

     thank you very much for the reply. i tried the snap voids to hatch grid... and also do some tweaks on hatch grid line and spacing but still its not working... maybe it is absolute to allegro that the gap of the void is exactly equal to the DRC set...

     

    thanks again

    Has anyone found a solution for this? Off grid shapes are such a pain...
