Net Logic

Wildwpe

Had a really fun task I've been working and I am at the last step.

We had Gerbers from over 20 yrs ago and of course no board or schematic file, so I had to recreate the layout from the Gerber files.  I used DXF imports and the logic commands and have finished the work.  We did output artwork compares using a Gerber tool to confirm accuracies. 

So here's my question:
I created 6 nets that have no logic assigned to them, and I can't seem to delete them form the database.  I am able to rename them, and confirm they are unassigned. Tried every trick I could think of.  Any suggestions? (please no skill code).
Thanks,
Wild

    export 3rd party netlist,  remove the nets, re-import the netlist

    I was able to figure it out.  The export did not include the unused net.  Was not able to import the netlist, had some type of error.
    However when I created the IPC356 file, these nets were not included, so no issue.
    Thanks for the recommendation.  I consider this case closed.

    For future reference, you need to export the library files from Allegro.

    The netlist import needs to see symbol files, pads, and device files.

    On the Export Logic/Netlist tab, select "Other" to generate a flat ascii netlist. This netlist can be edited.

    I did this excat.  The nets were not listed, and when I read it back in the nets were still there.  However when I created the IPC file these nets in question were not there.  So my problem was solved.  Thanks,
