Yup, just go to Drawing Options and click on the box to the left of where it says Out of Date Shapes. It will bring up a list, scroll down and find the ones that are out of date and click the coordinates to bring you to the exact location (it will tell you the layer it is on). You may need to turn on the "Boundary" for that etch layer to see it due to the shape priority (sometimes there are multiple shapes but only one is visible. ________________________________ From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of gnieski_mike@xxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 1:12 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: possessed design! any easy way to find an out of date shape? ________________________________ From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Edwards, Kevin Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 4:04 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: possessed design! Go into the "Drawing Options" and make sure they are all green. Sometimes you have out of date shapes that prevent it from being up to date. ________________________________ From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Macindoe, Gary Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 12:07 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] possessed design! Hey guys, Allegro 610 Expert, Windows XP Pro. Well, my design has become "possessed"! No matter what I do, the Status shows DRC errors as "Out Of Date" with 0 errors: - I ran Tools -> Database Check (both checked), passed squeaky clean. - I ran Tools -> Update DRC, resulting in "No DRC errors detected". - I ran "Update DRC" from Drawing Options window, Status tab, also resulting in "No DRC errors detected". - I got out of Allegro, got back in, then I repeated the above. Anyone ever see this one? In all my years using this tool, I've never seen the DRC errors stay "Out Of Date" after updating. Thanks for any help! Gary Gary E.
