Sketch > Process > Del.

Use these functions to delete lines or isolated points of a sketch or a 3-D sketch.

Identify the line or isolated point you want to delete, or right-click to activate the following context menu with further options:

Lines and isolated points in rectangle (CTRL+LMB)

Use this function to delete the lines/edges within a drawn selection rectangle. Move the mouse pointer to the desired corner point position of the selection rectangle. Press and hold down the left mouse button and draw the rectangle by moving the mouse. As soon as you release the left mouse button, the lines and points in the selection rectangle will be deleted.

For lines, please note the following: If the rectangle is drawn from the top left to the bottom right, all lines which are completely located within the rectangle will be deleted. If the rectangle is drawn from the top right to the bottom left, lines only portions of which are located within the rectangle will be deleted as well. The selected lines/edges will be highlighted in a different colour.

You can also call the function via the keyboard. Proceed as follows:

  • Move the cursor to the position of the first corner point of the rectangle.
  • Hold down the CTRL key and the left mouse button.
  • Release the CTRL key and draw, while still holding down the left mouse button, the rectangle.
  • When you then release the left mouse button, all lines and isolated points within the rectangle will be deleted.

Please note that only lines of the active part will be considered.
