Yep.  I normally run in rough mode on large boards like this because
operations run faster.  But you can't do everything in rough mode (like
island deletion) and sooner or later you have to convert to smooth :)

Have you tried setting the dynamic fill to "Rough"?

Y'all:
 
I have a large board (15" square) with a bunch of dynamic shapes on it
(~400).  This board has disabled the shape regeneration about three times
without asking, usually after doing a lot of line slides and such inside one
or another of the shapes or replacing/refreshing modules.  I can't find any
reproducible reason for this happening so I can't report it as a bug thru
official channels to Cadence.  
 
The biggest problem is that it is a BIG time hit waiting for all the shapes
to regenerate after changing from disabled back to rough or smooth.  Has
anyone found a way to reenable the dynamic shapes without immediately
regenerating them?  Or maybe being able to regenerate in batch mode?  I
wouldn't mind having to pick up and re place a shape in the area I am
working on, just SOMETHING to not have to sit for an hour or two watching
the stop light go from red to yellow and back again :)
 
TIA!
