Hey Dennis,

 

I don't think you can change the shape type (filled to unfilled) on a
non-etch layer. When I select a non-etch shape, then RMB on it to Change
Shape Type, I get the message in the command line "...Change shape type
not allowed for non etch shapes".

 

Basically, "Permission Denied"!

 

It doesn't make sense, since you can create either a filled or unfilled
shape on a non-etch layer.

 

I'm afraid you might just have to recreate it as unfilled.

Good Day All,

            Simple question probably- how do you unfill a shape?  I have
a conversion that filled some PACKAGE GEOMETRY/ASSEMBLY TOP shapes and
I'd prefer they not be. I'm using Allegro 16.3.  Thanks! -DC
