detele by rectangle

Question

hello 
 
 i do know that we can delete some area on clines by the "delete by rectangle" command. 
 
 but is there a way to select the cline area by poligon to delete so that the area is not a rectangle but a parallelogram as show below?

Hi Masa, 
 The Scalpel routine works like drawing a thick or thin line through the traces. Basically similar to a blade cutting something. 
 If you run the command scalpel followed by a number, the number will be the width of the cut. 
 For a 100 mil cut try scalpel 100 
 This will delete the trace segments by 100 mils wherever your cut line was placed. I don't know of any routine that works like drawing a polyagon. 
 There is also another method that is faster for cutting clines, You could take your board into "Specctra" and use the cut and delete segment options to basically create any cut type you want really fast. In specctra you draw the first cut line then the next cut line which cuts the traces. You then delete the traces between the cuts. 
 Best regards.
