I have a drill hole I can't select or delete, even after deleting everything else.

Question

I made a copy of my file and deleted every singe object and yet it remains. I opened up the .brd and .sch files in an editor and I think this may be the problem in both files:

</class>

</classes>

Can I just delete the middle two lines using a text editor?

Thanks!

I figured it out. What I though was a hole, was a DRC Drill distance warning symbol. Even when I deleted the part, the error symbol persisted. I didn't think to re-run the DRC or close and re-open. The error was caused by this: Note the two identical holes. I don't know how this happened. I checked the part and it looks fine. Deleting the part and inserting a new one fixes the problem. Thank you for your time.

that can't be the reason for your problem. This class definition is

the default if you don't have any classes defined by yourself.

It's present in any brd/sch I ever looked into.

Can you post your files to the newsgroup (or the forum), so that other

can have look at it?
