Workpoint Erase All ( Drawing Editor )

Tool summary :

  • Automatically deletes all workpoints that are on shown layers in your current drawing.
  • Since Workpoint Erase All results in your current drawing having no workpoint, extension dimensions will be measured from the drawing's 0, 0 coordinate or, for standard details, from the standard detail reference point .
  • In a drawing that is not a crane placement drawing , you can erase workpoints 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 Workpoint Erase All only works on visible layers, you can -- prior to activating this tool -- turn off particular layers to exclude workpoints that are on those layers from being deleted.
  • The selection of objects that is made prior to using Workpoint Erase 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 Workpoint Erase All .
  • To invoke Workpoint Erase All and delete all workpoints that are on shown layers or -- for crane placement drawings -- on shown comment layers:

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

    Method 2 : If " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Objects > Workpoints > Erase All .

    Method 3, 4 or 5 : Workpoint Erase 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 .
