attached is an updated version of the 'scalpel' custom skill code with 2 changes:

Updated to correctly handle non-orthogonal/diagonal routing ( i.e. fiber-weave zig-zag routing )

Added 'undo' capability

    the attached zip file contains the new 2.6 version which allows the deletion of the segments within the cut-line boundary,

    below is the additional help text:

    Command> scalpel 20 t

    	where 't' enables the inner-area Delete capability
          the segments within the closed cut-line boundary are deleted
              unless the cut-line boundary crosses itself - the tool doesn't like crossed boundaries :(
