[PCB_FORUM] Re: Shape won't fill

Kevin,

I had a board which had out of date shapes that would not fill in an early
release of 15.1 Sent it out to Cadence and they said to use the latest 15.1
ISR. Sure enough that fix the problem. Probably not the solution you want to
hear since your maintenance just expired. Version 15.1 s051 was the one that
fix it for me.

Ok, my turn.
I have a plane layer filled with a plane.
I have cut out (or overlayed) 3 smaller plane cutouts.
2 of them are no problem. One of them refuses to fill.
When I move it off the board it fills fine, back on, empty.
I redrew it and deleted the original, same thing.
I z-copied to another layer and it filled. Z-copy it back
and empty. I haven't tried changing the net, yet.
Cadence just send out an advisory that said if this happens move it zero and
put it back down and it will fill. NOT! I made it static and it filled. Now
I need to void all of the vias and pins. If I select all of the vias and
pins it says "error: no shape left after voiding". If I select a small bunch
of vias (20-25) and pins it works. But it takes literally 40 minutes to
complete each time. I have a dual 3.06G xeon with 1G mem. It is the last net
in the design and I have been fighting this *&@$%! thing for 3 days. Any
ideas?

Oh, by the way, our maintenance expired, money issues.
We'll pick it up again next year (I hope). I have not
been able to contact cadence on this due to that.

Much thanks in advance,
