DIVA Rules Question

[camelot]

Helo,
I'm writing some code in DIVA with Opus 4.4.6.
Does someone knows if there is a fast way to take all the area of the
layout that do not contains shapes and save it in a derived layer? I
need it for tracking the empty spaces left on the layout design. I
would like to avoid defining all the technology layers, merges and
process them as usually.

Thank for suggestions.

The only automated processes similar to that are the checkLayer and
checkAllLayers commands, which use technology file information to
generate a series of one and two layer sep, width, notch, overlap and
enclosure checks.

What you ask for sounds similar to area fill, but the commands for that
are not available in any 4.4.6 release. May I point out that you really
need to update your software before starting each project? Giving advice
limited to what an out of date, unsupported release is capable of is not
easy.
