Howto delete multiple elements from a view

[Marco]

Hi,

I have imported a datamodel and now want to remove all elements on the view. I selected all images and pressed delete. I have nothing more on my model but the elements are still present in my project view. Now i have to manually select the elements and  delete them one by one....

I want to delete all elements at once...

Any solution to this

Depending on the numbers involved

Copy the stuff you want to save into a new package and delete the package with all the detritus in..

A little trick: When an object is not used on any diagram, it becomes an orphan. Just go to menu Edit > Find and check the option "Find Orphans". That will list you all of your objects that you have deleted from your diagram. In this window you can also select multiple objects and delete them at once.

Hope this helps!

Hi Guys,

A key combo I use all the time for deleting multiple elements from a diagram AND the model in one hit:

Editing a diagram :

1. Control+A (Select All)
2. Control+Delete (Delete from model and diagram, note: this is different from Control+D)

This approach removes the need for dealing with orphans.

For step 1 above, control+click is also handy for multi-selecting specific elements.

For obscure technical reasons the Control+Delete combo is not in the keyboard accelerator map under the help menu.

Be careful!

Ben
