You can drag as normal to select a block, and then right click and from the context menu select "Delete Block". I find the block selection a bit odd sometimes though, you only have to get a single point of an object in the selection and it will be deleted. > 2. the ability to re-export gerber data from gerbview. > > admitting that i've not looked at the source code to see the > internal representations used and whether or not there is any > linkage to source maintained, i realise this one might take > quite some doing. > the only output now is back to pcbnew, and that does not preserve > arcs properly. I expect this to be a future capability. Again, the feature request tracker is active if you want to request any features: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=145591&atid=762479 Best Regards, Brian Sidebotham.
