delete by box in 16.2?

I've just started using 16.2, and was wondering if you can put a box around traces and have it delete just the part inside the box.

If not, I can't believe Cadence still has not added this. Is the only option still to use the skill routine "cline_cut"?

Thanks,

Gary

    Evan,
     
    No, that's not exactly what I want to do. I want to "chop out" a section of a horizontal trace ("cline seg").
     
    Imagine a large bus running horizontally:
    _________________________________
    _________________________________
    _________________________________
    _________________________________
     
     
    I want to end up with a piece deleted in the middle of each:
    _____________    __________________
    _____________    __________________
    _____________    __________________
    _____________    __________________
     
    Way back, a CAD system called Cadnetix could do this easily. Just get in delete, draw a box, and the sections of each trace within the box would be deleted.
     
    Thanks for the reply!
     
    Regards,
    Gary
