axlDeleteObject can't delete Etch Shape

 Hello,

I met a minor problem for the command axlDeleteObject(), it doesn't work on the Etched Shape.

 

axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '(noall shapes) ?onButtons '(noall shapes))

S = car( axlGetSelSet( axlSelect()))

axlDeleteObject(S)

The message is like this:

W-  Cannot delete element type: Shape(auto-generated) "Dummy Net, Etch/Top".

t

I tried to use axlEraseObject() before axlDeleteObject(). Same fault found.

Is there any command to delete or remove current shape dbid?
