How about z-copy to a temp layer that doesn't allow filled shapes,
delete the original then z-copy it back. Long winded I know, but...

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
