Sheet Item Delete All ( Drawing Editor )

Tool summary :

  • Automatically deletes all sheet items that are on shown layers in your current drawing.
  • Erasing all sheet items in your current drawing severs the links to the parent drawing(s) that the deleted sheet items are linked to. It does not remove the parent drawing(s).
  • In a drawing that is not a crane placement drawing , you can erase sheet items only from comment layers . In crane placement drawings, you can erase objects on non-comment layers as well as on comment layers.
  • Shown layers are visible layers (layers marked " Show "). Since Sheet Item Delete All only works on visible layers, you can -- prior to activating this tool -- turn off particular layers to exclude sheet items that are on those layers from being deleted.
  • The selection of objects that is made prior to using Sheet Item Delete All does not affect the operation of the tool, but the tool does affect the selection. All selected items are automatically deselected as a result of Sheet Item Delete All .
  • To invoke Sheet Item Delete All and delete all sheet items that are on shown layers or -- for crane placement drawings -- on shown comment layers:

    Method 1 : Click the Sheet Item Delete All icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Objects -- Sheet Items ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).

    Method 3, 4 or 5 : Sheet Item Delete All can also be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the ' Lightning ' layout style, configuration of the interface is done using Customize Interface .
