GEOMETRY

Purpose:

To administer the deletion of basic geometric entities like points, contours, texts and symbols in the current drawing.

Instructions:

1. In the Edit menu, click Delete, then Geometry.

2. You are now prompted to indicate a geometric entity to delete. Once the entity has been identified, it will be highlighted but not actually deleted until you confirm it by

   • clicking Operation Complete or

   • indicating another entity to delete

3. To cancel the deletion, click Cancel or Quit.

   Finally note that geometry belonging to Drawing References cannot be deleted.

Options:

At entrance (or more exactly as long as no geometric entity is highlighted for deletion), it is possible to specify what kind of geometry to delete: just click Options and a multiple choice dialog will appear, containing the following alternatives:

1. Point

2. Segment

3. Contour

4. Text

5. Symbol

6. Any

The alternative Segment means that, when indicating a multiple-segment contour, only the segment closest to the indication will be deleted.

The alternative Any means that any kind of geometric entity (points, contours, texts or symbols) will be identified for deletion.

Result:

User-indicated geometric entities in the current drawing will be deleted.
