How to update dynamic copper shape after islands have been deleted?

HWDesigner

I created dynamic shape outlines, assigned to net names. I deleted the copper islands (within pin fields).

Now I want to update the shape-to-pin spacing in the constraint manager to get copper between the pin fields. Since I already deleted the islands in these areas the constraint manager has no affect. Is there a way to bring back the deleted copper islands so the copper plane will change from a shape constraint adjustment?

    When you ran Shape>Delete Islands, PCB Editor actually added "Manual Voids" to remove the Islands. To restore the Islands, use Shape>Manual Void>Delete, you probably want to turn off all of the colours, apart from <layer>/Boundary so that you only see the Shape and Void boundaries.

    Oldmouldy,

    Thanks a lot for sharing this tips..

    I was using some other way to take out the voids which is kind of time killing....

    Thank you.

    I also was going through the long way to get around this problem. And I figured there had to be an "easier" way. So thank you again.
