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.

    Try the Edit - Delete command, make sure Find Filter is All on and then click on the outline. If nothing happens look at the command line and see what Allegro is telling you. It could be fixed, it could have a locked property (if part of the symbol) but it will tell you why you can't delete it.
