What this error means for static shapes is that you have two overlapping shapes, both containing the same void. Allegro gerber generation will not resolve this situation, so you have to either merge the shapes or change their boundaries so that the void is completely contained in only one of the shapes. I have no idea about your situation where the coordinates are off the board.

The user then used all static shapes and I was asked to change it to dynamic. No problem. The former designer also made some manual voids. I can't see any boundaries for the voids. The reason Iknow he's enter voids is that when I try to make artwork I keep getting a error message "WARNING: Shape at (-2850.000 -2900.000) contains void at (-2650.001 -2518.001) which touches another shape" I've never seen this error B4. The co-ordinate is way offthe board and the error goes away if I delete the gnd shape on the layer in question. Any thoughts???? I'm using V15.5 studio.
