Have you tried setting the dynamic fill to "Rough"?

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Refreshing Dynamic shapes
 
Y'all:
 
I have a large board (15" square) with a bunch of dynamic shapes on it
(~400).  This board has disabled the shape regeneration about three
times without asking, usually after doing a lot of line slides and such
inside one or another of the shapes or replacing/refreshing modules.  I
can't find any reproducible reason for this happening so I can't report
it as a bug thru official channels to Cadence.  
 
The biggest problem is that it is a BIG time hit waiting for all the
shapes to regenerate after changing from disabled back to rough or
smooth.  Has anyone found a way to reenable the dynamic shapes without
immediately regenerating them?  Or maybe being able to regenerate in
batch mode?  I wouldn't mind having to pick up and re place a shape in
the area I am working on, just SOMETHING to not have to sit for an hour
or two watching the stop light go from red to yellow and back again :)
 
TIA!
