Dynamic Shape is not applying DRC around different net!.

Hi,

I have defined may shape in internal plane as dynamic and have a constraint of 10Mil between various nets. However, My shape seems to connected directly to the via of other net in Figure 1:

If My shape is near a via of different net, then it applies that spacing constraint?!!! Figure 2 shows it:

I have tried Display-> status Update DRC so many times but it doesn't show any Error.


I would appreciate any help.

Hossein

    Shape To ... (Or ... To Shape) in Spacing, or Same Net Spacing, will define the DRC clearance around Pins and Vias and, unlike the Pad Designer method, you can have different values for each, and each type, Shape>Global Dynamic Parameters, or Shape Parameters, will allow an oversize to be specified in the Clearances tab which gets added to the DRC value(s). The Width of the spokes gets defined by Min Line Width for the Net in Physical, this can also have an oversize, or a fixed size, specified from Shape Parameters Thermal Relief Connects tab. Note that, if the Minimum Connects cannot be made, there will be no connection (usually only an issue when Min and Max Connects are set to 4 and Best Contact is not enabled).
