Clear silkscreen from pins in Allegro Package

 Does anyone have some SKILL code that will clear silkscreen lines back x distance from pins, either as a group or individually?  I want to use this during footprint building.  Currently I have to use delete and cut to remove pieces of lines that run through pads.

    Not typically, but sometimes it is easier to draw a simple rectangle, place it and then delete what I don't want.  We also use LP Wizard to build footprints and it will sometimes create the silkscreen over the pads which means a little clean-up on our part.
