How to delete Board geometrty outline

true wanderer
true wanderer over 9 years ago

Hi,

I have created the footprints for some particular components. I added outline for my footprints from "board geometry" class by adding rectangle instead of choosing line from the tan "Add". I want to remove that outline because our fabrication house advised to correct it. But i'm not able to delete the outline. I found that if i drew outline using line(from 'Add' tab) instead of rectangle, i could delete it simply by right clicking and choosing delete option. But i can't find delete option in my case. How can i delete the rectangular outline under the class board geometry?

Any help would be appreciated.

    Check firstly which App mode you are in (so Setup - Application Modes - General Edit, the check the Find Filter tab to make sure that Lines, Shapes etc are on, then try the hover right click - Delete. You may also need to use the TAB key to cycle through what is selected. If it still fails after that make sure it is not Fixed.
