</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>erase</B> [<I>layers</I>|<B>cursor</B>] <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>layers</I> is a comma-separated list of layer types
to be erased, or <B>*</B> to indicate all paint but not labels,
or <B>$</B> to indicate both paint and labels.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>erase</B> command erases paint inside the cursor box in the
current edit cell. Without arguments, everything inside the box
is erased. With argument <I>layers</I>, only the indicated layers
are erased. <P>
Note that some layer types, such as DRC paint, cannot be erased.
Feedback areas are not considered paint and should be erased
using the <B>feedback clear</B> command. <P>
The option "<B>erase cursor</B>" picks the layers at the position
of the (X11) cursor and erases these from the area of the cursor
box.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>erase</B> is implemented as a built-in <B>magic</B> command.
