Editing a Shape

melview1

I am running OrCAD PCB Editor v16.5

I have a PCB outline and a route_keepin that is contracted by 20 mils.  I created my pours on all of the layers using z-copy on the route_keepin.  I then made some voids on various layers.  I have come to the point that I would like to change the route_keepin to 15 mils away from the PCB outline instead of 20 mils.  How can I accomplish this without affecting my voids?

I tried z-copy, but if I select the pour (to also copy the voids), and expand it by 5 mils, the voids are also expanded by 5 mils.  I really don't want to redo my voids. 

Thoughts?

    You can change the Route Keepin by removing and adding it again. If you want to expand the shapes, you could try creating another shape that is 15 mils inside the Board outline on the required layer(s) with the required Net attachment. Then display just the Bound(ary) colour for that layer and use the Shape>Merge Shapes to combine the two shapes. You probably want to check this out with a copy of the BRD data.
