Delete an Attribute or Symbol from a Template

You can delete an attribute or content (object-owned or linked) from a template that has an Object Wizard. If there are objects derived from the Object Wizard that use the deleted attribute or content, the deletion propagates to all the derived objects.

Linked symbols, layouts, and external content items will still exist in the Graphic Toolbox. Deleting an object-owned symbol completely removes it. Once you save the template that contains the deleted object-owned symbol, the symbol cannot be retrieved.

To delete an attribute or content from a template:

1. Select the content item from the Content pane. To delete an attribute, select it from the Attributes pane. You can select more than one attribute or symbol at a time.

2. Select the Delete button. This removes the selected symbol from the object. Use the Delete button in the Attributes pane to delete attributes.

   Note: Added (object-owned) symbols are permanently deleted once the object is saved. Linked content is removed from the object but remains in the Graphic Toolbox.
