Can you merge any of those shapes? To speed up my designs I typically work in
"rough mode" and only turn on the full smooth mode when nearly done. I also
turn off viewing shapes in setup> user pref > shape > no shape fill. I then
only see the outlines..

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!
