Hi David,
That does refresh them, but gives me the same results...the pads aren't
voided.
Best Regards,
Austin

To refresh a single dynamic shape:
"Shape" -> "Select Shape or Void" (or use "Shape Select" icon) , LMB on
shape to be refreshed then RMB ->
Select "Defer Dynamic Fill" from Pop-up -> RMB -> Select "Done" from
pop-up.

Hi Austin, sometimes editing the plane outline with the edit boundary

Hi,
Thanks, but same results... I also read the file back into 15.2, and

Hi Austin,
If your using 15.7 try the following:
In your Global Shape Parameters form set the "Thru pin" DRC Oversize
value to 0.01.
Then Update to Smooth.
*or* ix 0 the shape to regenerate it.
Check the following PDF document "Best Practices: Working with Shapes"

Hi Dennis,
I have done all three, to no avail. I'm off maintenance, so I don't
believe I can report this to them, unfortunately.
Best Regards,
Austin

Hi Austin,
I see you found one of t he weak points in Cadence ? and a pain in
the butt. Cadence has always had problems with shapes.
Sometimes going to smooth doesn?t even work to update the shape,
when you need to update DRC before performing a smooth.
1.. Go to Tools/Update DRC
2.. Go To Setup/Drawing Options/Status/ pick smooth box ? pick
update to Smooth then OK ? see if that fixes it, if that doesn?t fix it go
to # 3.
3.. Are you showing us a negative plane? If so go to
Setup/Drawing Options/Display/ and tu rn on filled pads, and see if that
fixes it.
Also report this to Cadence ? the more they hear about
plane issues they might give the planes more attention.
Good luck

Hi,
> But, when I move this component off the board, then back on, the
holes come through correctly.
Only until I click "done"...then it goes back to not showing.

Austin
