Clear silkscreen from pins in Allegro Package

chads108

 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.

    Hello Dave, We have shape on top silkscreen to define pin#1. When we run the the script, it converts shape to line. Any solution for that? Attached example file.

    Tried on both Allegro 17.2 and 17.4. Having same issue. I have attached cxt file that I am using. This version works great with arc and circle as well.  Attached Image of issue as well. 2604.EDAVE_clearPinSilk (4).zip

    Same issue. Tried with 17.2 S081. All shapes are converted to line whether it's over copper or not.
