[PCB_FORUM] Re: Refreshing Dynamic shapes

Try going into user preferences and set display|display_raster_ops to
slow.
 
This is a guess.

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!
