OrCad GND shape (Polygon) clearance not working

Geo , 09-30-2024, 07:39 PM
Hi all! I would like to ask for guidance where to start checking of the problem with OrCad GND shape, since I'm used to work with Altium.
The problem is with the GND shape which is connected to all the vias on L2 (same situation on other layers) and there is not any clearance among GND and different nets. Is it connected to the rules in the constraint manager?
Picture attached.

Could you please help?

Open DRC report. There is option to refresh shapes. Click it and it automatically add clearance to shapes.

Hi Sir James, thanks for your instructions. I tried that and wasn't working till I found in the shape menu the Global Dynamic Parameters that the Dynamic fill was preselected to Disabled. I changed to smooth, hit apply and worked.
