    A boundary is a dynamic shape contour definition: if you delete the shape, you will not have boundary anymore since the are linked

    Hi Masa,

    The boundary is just an outline of where some object exists on a layer. Typically this will be a shape on some layer. You would need to delete
    the shape associated with the boundary to remove the boundary.

    Click on the icon "Shape Select" to select the boundary, then click the info icon to figure out what layer the boundry is on. Enable that layer so
    as to see the object then delete it. Another method is to turn on all classes/subclasses on so they are visible. GO to Display > Color/Visibility, then
    click the global visibility button "On" to make everything visible.

    Best Regards.

    hello paul:

     

    unfortunately i am not able to select the boundary by shape select.

     

    apparently i may have deleted the shape already.

     

    if i show all layers, i would not know which objects belog to which layer.

     

    regards

    masa
