Hi Jean,

You've made it clear it will send an email for each post that shows up, but
can you also reply to that email and have that email post just like if you
went to the web site?

Regards,

Austin

  Gary, I think you missed Mike's point.it will send you an email. You only
have to go to the site if you choose to reply. You'll still get to see all
the discussions and get to learn whatever you can from them with just an
email check.

  Michael,



  From Jean's post:



  O      I signed up for the CDNusers, but I never remember to go there to
see what's up. This appears in my email, is informative and responsive, and
thus all I really use.



  I agree 100%.  The most disruption I can afford is to check my e-mail
occasionally (save, check e-mail, get back to work!).





  From your post:



  O       The only major difference between the two forums is CDNUsers.org
Forums does not allow you to post/reply directly to the forum via email so
you have to login to the website to post a reply to a post.



  Which is why this forum is all I'll use, unless the above about
CDNUsers.org Forum changes.



  Regards,

  Gary

  Hey Jean,



  I personally use both forums.  You can setup CDNUsers.org account to send
emails of the posts by checking the box next to "Email me when someone posts
to this forum".

  The only major difference between the two forums is CDNUsers.org Forums
does not allow you to post/reply directly to the forum via email so you have
to login to the website to post a reply to a post.



  See attached image to see what you need to do so you get the posts on the
forum to your email.

  Just curious...

  I noticed that the number of emails on this forum has
  been picking up lately.

  Are folks subscribed to both Allegro forums?
  icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and cdnusers.org

  or

  Do folks prefer one forum over the other?

  Looking for general comments. Personal Interest.

  Dave

      Hit the nail on the head! This worked great.....I did have multiple
shapes and could only see the problem shape with boundary on.

      This forum is always the first place to go when there's a problem.
Great help!

  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it says Out of Date Shapes.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the ones that are out of date and click the coordinates to bring you to the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.

  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.

  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
