[PCB_FORUM] Re: Artwork error

Typically I don't get to close and personal with shapes - if it gives me any 
trouble I typically trace it with another shape and delete the old shape.
Recently I had to break a shape into two different shapes to make it work 
because of a bug in dynamic shapes.  Every time I tried to merge the two shapes 
the bug would re-appear, and trash the shape. (using Cadence APD V15.7)

You can also delete the shape and then recreate the artwork - make sure that 
shape is really what is causing the problem for the artwork not being created.

Also you should always do a dbdoctor before creating artwork, many time it 
cleans up those kind of problems.

If the void error is not immediately obvious, check how many shapes there are.

I ran into this just a couple of days ago. I had been z-copying shapes, and had 
accidentally created multiple iterations of the same shape on the same layer. 
Deleting all but 1 fixed the problem.

Hi all,

ERROR: aborting film - Shape with first seg=(644.327 503.002) [layer=TOP]
 has a void with extents [(-625.002 574.998) (525.002 655.002)] that touches
 another shape with first seg=(-555.945 639.370). Manually resolve problem.
    ERROR: aborting film - artwork will not be generated!
 Error in TOP--halting output.  Artwork file not generated.
