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.
