Thanks Jean-Charles, but I tried it that way and more. I think Barbara is on to 
something with the flash_convert, just not sure exactly how to run it.

  Refresh padstack created with shapes is not easy.

  - Refresh shapes
  - Then refresh padsatck (do not refresh both at same time)

  Sometimes it does the trick...

    Hey guys,

    Ok, I've been creating Negative shapes for many years, and have been 
banging my head over this one for hours, several times. It looks like the 
thermal relief shapes are not being displayed correctly, or not found.

    I am working on a design that was initially created by someone else, and my 
DIMM symbol is not showing the thermal connections as it should (first screen 
capture, BAD).
    When I do a Tools -> Padstack -> Modify Design Padstack and edit the 
padstack in the design, I can see that it is finding the thermal flash symbol.

    My symbol is fine, as you can see as it is used in a similar design that I 
created (second screen capture, GOOD).

    I have looked everywhere I can think of to see if something is set wrong 
with no luck. I have performed Update Symbols with everything checked with no 
luck.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help, it's driving me nuts (well, more nuts)!


    BAD



    GOOD
