How to change line class

ShawnLogan

Hi

I'm a new user to Allergo PCB editor. I have a question on the line classes.
A line path was created in "top-etch" layer, how can i simply change it class to the correct package_geom -> silkscreen_top? (other than redrawing it using the correct class/subclass)?

Appreciate any help.

Thanks
Shawn

    Another method that I use is a little skill code written by Uri Chaplin called copy_lines.  It runs from within Allegro and allows you to copy lines across classes.  A nice piece of code that we use to create our NC milling data on complex outlines to move a decomposed expanded shape lines from the Drawing Format Construction layer to the Board Geometry NCroute path layer.  I have included the code here for you to try if you like.
