Delete a Figure or Sheet

How to remove a figure you no longer need.

Written by Laura Berwick

Note that deleting sheets and figures also deletes the corresponding parts and specification sections. If you wish to delete a figure but keep its parts or descriptive text, take steps to preserve that data, such as moving it to a different figure, before deleting.

This article covers the following topics:

  • Delete from Figure Label

  • Delete from Menu or Tool Bar

  • Delete from Sheets Panel
