dynamic shape not updating

Tanveer
Tanveer over 15 years ago

 Hi,

I have a problem with dynamic shape on my board.

dynamic shapes on the board not updating even they are not voiding from any where. shape fill type is smooth and I try to update it from Display>Status>update dynamic shapes but error msg occured 

"1 dynamic shape is still out of date or empty.  Run Out of date shapes Report from status dialog to identify them."

I also try to DB doctor my pcb but not working. In the starting shape was fine Error occured suddenly I didnt know how it happens.

previously I have this problem and I resolved it by chance by removing internal plane layers from Xsection and again defined them. but I know this is not a proper solution.

Any Suggestions.

Regards

Tanveer

    Under Display - Status the coloured box next to out of date shapes will probably be yellow. If you click this box the out of date shapes report will show and give co-ordinates to the shape in question. Make sure that the etch layer boundary layer is displayed and go and fix the shape in question. Once done the issue should be resolved.

    Hi Steve,

    I have still problems with shape. previously I can't update shape but now when I click on the Update shape, no errors occured but when I look into the shape it is still not voiding from any where. all reports are clear with zero DRC errors. 

    Best Regards

    The Pwr and Gnd layers are defined in the cross section as negatives therefore the shapes shouldn't be voided. The voids will be created when you generate artwork.

    You should also execute dbdoctor on the design as there are errors (161) which need to be fixed.

    I don't see any voids in your shapes or route keepouts....

    I do see some power/ground trace length issues coming off of those Xilinx parts however. :(

    And I get 0 drc as well.
