Delete lines on Dimension layer

mschap1

Hello fellow Eagle users,

I am looking for some help with deleting some entries on the Dimension layer, Layer20.

I am currently using version 4.16 of Eagle on a Windows machine and I inadvertently

entered some text and wires on Layer20 and I do not seem to be able to delete them.

 

I have tried to get information on the entries and all I get is the error beep indicating

there is nothing selectable. I have also turned all layers on to see if this could allow me

to select the desired items for deletion but this was not successful.

 

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

  • Greetings,

     

    Are these lines/markings part of a library object?  If so, you might need to edit the library object to remove them from the layer.

    Hello Gene,

    The lines and text are not a library object. They had been entered on the board layer 20 (Dimension Layer).

     

    Doug has suggested a number of ways to eliminate the lines and text but nothing has worked so far.

    Instead of continuing to fix the problem I will be starting the layout from a clean board as I am under

    a time crunch. I will return to the problem board in the near future to understand where the problem is.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Regards,

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    if it is not a secret you can send me the file(s) for studying.

    BTW I hope you use the version 4.16R2 which is the latest release of v4.

    That will not help you on your current issue but contains some corrections

    and your license is OK for that.

    You can download it
