Delete a Single Part

  1. If desired, filter the parts list to facilitate deleting one of a category of parts from the parts panel.

  2. Locate the part you wish to delete in the Parts Panel in the left-hand sidebar of the Drawing Tool or select a stencil associated with that part.

  3. Select the Delete Part option from the menu available through the icon to the right of the part name in the Parts panel, the toolbar, the Element Info controls in the right-hand sidebar, or the on-canvas controls available when the stencil is double-clicked.

  4. If your part is referenced in your application and/or appears in your figures, confirm your deletion in the dialog provided.



    Note that deleting a part will remove the part data from the on-canvas stencil associated with the part, but will not remove the stencil. The stencil may be deleted separately if desired.


    Note that if a part has been placed as a stencil on the drawing canvas, it can also be deleted using controls available to the right of the canvas when the stencil is selected.

Delete Multiple Parts

  1. If desired, filter the parts list to facilitate deleting all of a category of parts.

    ​​

  2. Select all of the parts you wish to delete.

  3. Click the menu icon for Multi-Part Operations at the upper-right of the Parts panel and select the Delete Selected Parts


  4. If your parts are referenced in your application and/or appear in your figures, confirm your deletion in the dialog provided.



    Note that deleting parts will remove the part data from the on-canvas stencils associated with the part, but will not remove the stencils. The stencils may be deleted separately if desired.

    Note that all parts for a figure will be deleted when their figure is deleted.
