        delete

USAGE:
        Delete
        Edit> Delete

Delete
Edit> Delete

        The Delete and Edit> Delete commands remove elements
from the design. When you select Delete or Edit> Delete,
the Find Filter opens and the Ministatus form displays the Ripup Etch
field. Select the appropriate element types from the Find Filter,
complete the Ministatus, then pick the element to delete. It highlights
after you pick it, then disappears when you select the the next element.
Elements are not retrievable after they have disappeared. Continue
to select individual elements, then select Done from the popup
menu.  To delete multiple elements simultaneously, select either Group
 or Window from the popup menu.

        The Cut option is available on the popup menu when Delete or
Edit> Delete is active. It enables you to remove a portion
an existing line segment, such as a connect line or one side of a
package symbol. To use Cut, select it from the popup before picking
the element.

        The Ministatus form displays the following field when Delete or E
dit> Delete is active:

        - Ripup Etch: This field specifies how Allegro should handle
an element that has attached etch. Checking the box specifies that
Allegro deletes the etch with the symbol. Leaving the box unchecked
specifies that Allegro should leave the etch on the design, even though
there is no longer connectivity.

File> Delete

        The File> Delete command removes files from the Browser window.
When you select File> Delete, pick a file to remove. It disappears
immediately. Continue to pick individual elements to delete. When
you are finished, either select Done from the popup
menu, or the Update button. An alternate method for using
the command is to pick the element first, then select File> Delete
from the menu. If used this way, Allegro removes only the item highlighted,
then terminates the command.

        Once an item is removed, it cannot be retrieved.
