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"1 dynamic shape is still out of date or empty.  Run Out of date shapes Report from status dialog to identify them."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

     My process is usually:

    1) Play with Shape/Global Parameter setting, and see if it updates

    2) Tools/Database Check - 1st 2 boxes selected

    3) Move the shape off the board; move it back on.

    I know it might sound clunky, but 1 of the 3 always works.

    turn on the boundary class to see the "hidden" shape. Open color dialog - stackup folder ....

    Steve,

    I have this problem after updating shapes. I followed your directions and was upset because that didn't work. I then read your messge carefully. I didn't know the buttons were interactive. I've been using this tool for quite some time and didn't know this. Thanks!!
