Select Outside of box

In the color dialog box enable all colors so that you can find where the objects are then, in general edit enable all items under the find filter. With these settings drag a window for selection and delete the objects outside the title block.

Thanks for your reply.

I already tried this, even when I turn everything on the workspace is so huge that I have to zoom waaaaaay out and you can't see anything.

I select around the edges even though I can't see anything and I got a bunch of them but the mouse kind of bounces back on the edge.

I think there are just a few on the outer fringes left.

It's either by product of translation from Pads or DXF's brought in with the wrong settings.

The design space is 3,088 x 9,899 inches and the pcb file size is 130,000 kb.

The blues spec in the corner is my actual C size drawing and I could zoom out one more click.

I just wrote a simple skill routine to do this, the skill is shown below:

procedure(DelAllOutsideBox()
let(()
(axlSetFindFilter ?enabled list("all" "nodrcs" "invisible") ?onButtons list("all" "nodrcs"))
(axlAddSelectAll)
(axlSubSelectBox)
(axlDeleteObject (axlGetSelSet))
)
)

Then in Allegro I ran:

skill load "delallout.il"

skill DelAllOutsideBox()

followed by 'save_as' and 'quit'

Below is the jrl file entries:

\i (00:00:34) skill 'load "delallout.il"'
(00:00:34) t
\i (00:00:54) skill DelAllOutsideBox()
\i (00:01:01) pick grid -1810.82 4445.00
\t (00:01:01) last pick: -1810.82 4445.00
\i (00:01:04) pick 5654.26 -1218.50
\t (00:01:04) last pick: 5654.26 -1218.50
(00:01:04) t
\i (00:01:10) save_as
\i (00:01:19) fillin "empty.brd"
\i (00:01:19) generaledit
\i (00:01:23) quit

\i (00:01:19) generaledit
\i (00:01:23) quit

I couldn't get this to work. I create a file in my env folder called delallout.il and copied this into it

procedure(DelAllOutsideBox()
let(()
(axlSetFindFilter ?enabled list("all" "nodrcs" "invisible") ?onButtons list("all" "nodrcs"))
(axlAddSelectAll)
(axlSubSelectBox)
(axlDeleteObject (axlGetSelSet))
)
)

In Allegro I entered into the command line

skill load "delallout.il"

Nothing happens

Thanks

Ah I did get it to work by then typing in skill DelAllOutsideBox()

I was also able to re-size my workspace too.

Thank you!
