Thanks Gary. Yes, that's what I found too.
Thanks Dave. I tried to decompose the shape like you suggested and that was
also unsuccessful...

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
