I need to delete some Dynamic shapes using skill, axlDeleteObject() won't allow

Hi All,

17.2

 I need to delete some dynamic shapes in skill. I tried using axlDeleteObjects, but that gives me an error that you can delete "W- Cannot delete element type: Shape(auto-generated) "Gndd, Etch/L03-s-1v".

I tried using axlShapeChangeDynamicType(shp nil t), which is suppose to change dynamic to static, this doesn't work either. E- Shape is generated from a dynamic shape; can't change its type.

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks,

Jerry

    For dynamic shapes you need to delete the shape boundary. Try axlDeleteObject(shpDBID ->shapeBoundary)
