Create bounding shape for arcs

L0c0

When using Shape > Create Bounding Shape on an arc, the outer side works well, but on the inner side it just draws a straight line from the begging to the end of the curve.  Is anyone aware of a fix for this?

I'm attaching  a picture as an example, it works great on lines.

    I duplicated this issue with allegro 17.4 S022 & my search didn't show any defects reported for this, did you report this to Cadence or your local distributor?

    Thanks for giving it a shot David.  I believe my desktop is running PCB Designer Professional S022 or close to that.  Right now I'm on the road with my laptop which only has S009 and it happend on both.  I haven't contacted my distributor yet, guess I'll look more into it when I get back.  I was going to use this function to remove the mask off my RF traces, but seems there's already a free app for that, Graseware ClineRouteKeepout, so that'll keep me busy for a bit. Either that or just use smaller arcs I guess.
