Nope. They are part of modules and are individual shields or ground/power
planes.
This is not a graphics problem, it is a problem with the dynamics. I assume
that even turning off the shape fill graphics would not turn of the shape
regeneration :)
Thanks!

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..

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!
