Can't update Dynamic Shapes?

JFuoco

I'm stuck in the strangest predicament, and hoping someone can help.

I am ready to create Gerber files for manufacturing, and am met with the "dynamic shapes need updating" error as shown in pic01.

Then I click on the red square next to "out of date shapes" and it gives the location, albeit randomly. If I re-open the gerber dialog and follow the same steps, I get a different location for the problematic shape. See pic02 and pic03 for examples of the shape changing locaitons.

Has anyone seen this behavior? Sometimes the location given for the shape is near 0,0, which I check and can't find. Other times it is located well outside the drawing extents. Is there anything I can do to essentially nuke all the dynamic shapes? I don't need any in this design anyway... I had dabbled with the idea but realized I don't need them.

Thanks a lot for any help,

Jim

    I've had a case where there was one shape that doesn't show as "SMOOTH" in the report and if I use the "Color Dialog" window and display the "BOUND" for that layer you can see the outline of this shape.

    Usually when I delete this one it goes away.

    Not sure if this is the same scenario, but you could give it a shot if you see one that looks odd on your report.
