Am I missing something here?
When I look for out of date shapes, I select Setup>Drawing Options> and
look at the 'Out of date shapes' entry in the form (5th line from the
top). I have a shape out of date. If I click on the little box, a report
is automatically generated, listing the shapes, what layer they are on,
and the bounding box co-ordinates (Extents). Now, what you can't see (at
least on my system) is that each of the entries for lower left and upper
right are actually hyperlinks. If you click on the text, the screen
automatically centers to the location. If you read the layer in advance
and turn it on, you will see the shape boundary in the center of your
screen.
Is this behavior only in 15.2??

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] SOLUTION: Allegro 15.1 Finding out of date dynamic
shapes
I'd like to thank everyone that responded to my request for assistance
in finding out of date dynamic shapes.
First of all, it's kind of funny how some things change in the tool and
you are not even aware of it. Please excuse my ignorance, but I was not
even aware of the new color/visibility subclass "stackup/boundary" and
that you could extract a report specifically describing all of the
dynamic shapes in the design using "Tools >> Reports >> Dynamic
Shapes". "Ahh Ha!" I says to myself.
So... , using the Dynamic shapes report, saving the file, and searching
for the text string "WARNING: No Etch Shapes", I was able to locate the
exact X & Y coordinates, and layer of any and all out of date dynamic
shapes. Once I found the locations and layer, I would zoom into that
location, turn on the etch layer and boundary layer and either find a
boundary with no etch shape, an unassigned shape beneath another shape,
or maybe not find anything obviously wrong with a shape, but I could
delete and redraw the shape or at least have a place to start.
It turns out there were two solutions on Source link for this issue
also.
Once again, thanks to all.
