You can delete items from a drawing by selecting them and then selecting Cut or Delete on the main toolbar or pressing Delete on the keyboard. Selecting Cut places the selected item on the Clipboard.

  • The properties of an item affect what happens when you cut or delete it. If the item has a TagReqdFlag property of True, which you set in Catalog Manager, and its item type is included in the StockpileItems group, which you set in Options Manager, the item may be deleted to a stockpile. In addition, in order for pipe runs, duct runs, or signal runs to be deleted to a stockpile, the Pipeline Name Attributes, DuctRun Name Attributes, or Signal Name Attributes data settings respectively must have at least one property defined in Options Manager, at least one of those properties must be populated for the drawing item, and the combination of values for those properties must be unique for drawing items of that type in the plant - if the values of those properties are not unique for an item, that item gets deleted from the model. When selecting Delete on the toolbar or pressing the Delete key, the deletion behavior depends on the Delete Key Default Behavior setting in Options Manager: Delete to Plant Stockpile, Delete to Drawing Stockpile, or Delete from Model. The data associated with the item remains in the database.

  • If the TagReqdFlag property is False or the item type is not included in the StockpileItems group, when you cut or delete the item, it is removed from the drawing and the database.

  • Off-page and utility connectors are always placed in the Stockpile when deleted regardless of the TagReqdFlag property.

  • You can press Delete on the keyboard to remove an item or a select set from the drawing. First, select the item or group of items in the drawing. Then you must point to the Drawing view before you press Delete. The software does not delete the item or group of items if the pointer is located anywhere outside the Drawing view.

  • You can delete an item by selecting and right-clicking it. If you select Delete from Model, the selected item is deleted from the drawing and from the database, regardless of the properties set in Catalog Manager or Options Manager.
