Hey all, I'm currently facing an error when trying to remove a Mechanical component in one of the boards I'm working on; indeed when I use the "Delete" command I get this error:


(SPMHDB-243): Cannot modify element; the object or a parent has the FIXED property. [help]

So I used the "Unfix" command making sure that all the Object Filter were flagged on and obviously the component and all the parts I can see are unfixed.

I even tried to see with F4 or the "Property" command but the component is unfixed.

What can I do?

Thanks to all!

    Nope, it doesn't work. I've attached the skinned version of the board; on the file there only are the two elements that give me the problem.

    Enjoy!
