    To remove pins: axlDeleteObject(axlDBGetDesign()->pins)

    To delete everything from a certain layer this can be an approach:

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '("all") ?onButtons '("all"))
    axlAddSelectAll()
    l_obj = setof(item axlGetSelSet() item->layer=="PACKAGE GEOMETRY/SILKSCREEN_TOP")
    axlDeleteObject(l_obj)
    l_obj = setof(item axlGetSelSet() item->layer=="PACKAGE GEOMETRY/SILKSCREEN_BOTTOM")
    axlDeleteObject(l_obj)

    After the delete functions it is wise to call axlDBRefreshId(nil)
    Note that the layer string is case sensitive / all capitals!
