I have a board layout that has the CompKeepin and Route Keepin areas created by Zcopy command. The shape of the board has to be change and I am unable to delete or edit the Comp Keepin and the Route Keepin.

Please help me.

Thanks.

    I had what seems to be a similar issue. I was doing test layout outside the board outline. I was getting DRC errors for parts/clines outside of the outline. Hovering over the DRCs it was saying I had stuff outside of the package keepin and route keepin. So I enabled package keepin and route keepin to delete the shapes. The shapes didn't exist! I hovered over the DRCs again, it highlighted the package keepin shape - but it wasn't really there!!

    I ended up doing Tools > Database Check, clicking all the boxes and selecting check. This recovered the shapes which I was then able to delete.
