Unselectable shape

DMLeone

I just started using Allegro 16.6. I designed a small PCB and have an error. I am abloe to see a shape and its boundary, but I am unable to select it and delete it. I go into the display turn everything off except for bottom layer boundary and there it is, actually 2 of them. but when I try and select them I cannot. the problem is these shapes also have a no etch error associated with them so I cannot proceed to generate gerbers until these errors are resolved.

this not being able to select objects is not my first encounter. also when I was trying to make PCB parts, I would be unable to select objects on the silkscreen layer. it became 1 and done for me and still is.

How can I select to delete these shapes. they are just simple rectangles on the bottom layer.

thanks for help in advance.

    Never mind, I found inside shape->select shape which allowed me to select that trouble shape boundary and delete it. so no more issues.
