A deletion object represents a deletion area for copper objects. The delete function only acts on areas defined by copper objects and allows you to easily create openings in the power supply areas.
You can draw a deletion area of any shape or you can create a deletion object by copying its shape from another object.

You can make all deletion objects transparent in a layer by setting the option available in the view properties of the layer. See Dialog: Layers and Views. |
