How to find Static shapes in board file

Hi Friends,

Is any possibilities to find Static shapes in the board file ?

In the shape report it gives only the dynamic shape report.  Is any scripts for this ?

Thanks & Regards

    If you wanted to visually see the static shapes you could do the following

    1. Enable the boundary color for the dynamic shapes. Make it a colour such as red. Do not have red as a defined etch subclass colour.
    2. In Display >Colour Priority make red the top colour. This will redraw the screen with red being drawn last. The shapes that are outlined in red will be dynamic and those with an outline will be the colour of your etch subclass.

    The summary drawing report, in the etch statistics section, will list the number of shapes on each etch layer. You could compare that with the dynamic report.

    There isn't a report that will just give you the static shapes.
