What's Your Fastest Way to Unfix Fixed Objects in Allegro PCB Editor?

Electro Node

Hello All,

This is a very simple one. We've all experienced it. After fixing dozens of components and traces to protect completed work, a major design change requires moving large sections of the board. Manually unfixing everything can be time consuming and frustrating. How do you handle this situation in Allegro PCB Editor? Do you use a favorite shortcut, command, or SKILL script to speed up the process? Please share your tips and best practices with me so I can save a lot of time.

Thanks!
