Hi,
I have populated a wafer with hundreds of die and I would like to delete a few stragglers. If I go and do anything to these extra die (e.g., delete it or change a layer), this applies to the entirety of the map. So, if I delete the one die (by highlighting and deleting it), it will delete every single instance of it.
I fixed this by highlighting the entire wafer and making a cell out of it; however, the file is much too large now. I would prefer to delete these extra die without needing to make a new cell out of the entire wafer.
Any advice? I've tried flattening instances and other commands under the selection menu. Thank you.

Okay, figured it out. For future reference:
You can change the hierarchy level on the bottom left of the editor until the instances are boxes, then you can delete specific ones without impacting others.
Very good.
If the instances you want to delete are on top level, you can also use "View/Select Top Level Objects". In this mode, you only select instances rather than shapes inside instances.
