Yelrow Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hi, have modified track plan which means deleting about 80 pieces, including points. Is there a quicker way, apart from dragging piece by piece to dustbin, and deleting. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 JohnPage 96 of the manual talks to selecting multiple track elements using shift click or dragging a box around them so that you can move them, but Page 97 only talks to deleting a single element at a time. I suggest selecting many bits as if to move them, then hitting the delete key and see if they go in the bin.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Yup, looked at lasooing em, but the pesky critters escape. Single deletion is a tad time consuming. Will investigate again, tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ngr4y Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 @yelrow Hello John, When you delete items, there is no need to "drag" the selected elements anywhere. In this diagram, I have selected 3 items to delete by using shift + clcik on each one..../media/tinymce_upload/3c2607e57bd5e7ffa536185bb42c3fd9.pngThe pieces are at top left, top right, and bottom right, roughly, and each has a square around it to show it is selected. At this point , all you need to do is clcik on this delete button..../media/tinymce_upload/50aa503483148fcd3f427b8bda8a2c4b.pngYou should then get a message asking you to confirm the deletion..../media/tinymce_upload/f3ff9aeffb13a79c29e3bfb1a3ec67f7.png... then, when you click the green tick, the items are removed.../media/tinymce_upload/ef2c0a49a5250252c99e94d6282b81b6.pngThe small arrow above the delete button is used to switch on multi-select, and as I'm sure you know, you can lassoo a rectangle-full of items. But the same applies - when you have lassooed them, just press the delete button. Hope this helps. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 RayI would not have associated that arrow with multi-delete, more something to do with zoom. RM has some odd button layouts.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Ray, gosh, thanks, how did you find that. Is it hidden somewhere in instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1ngr4y Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Ray, gosh, thanks, how did you find that. Is it hidden somewhere in instructions. I can't remember how I found that, John. I'm always tweaking my layout, so I've probably used the track editor a lot more than you. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
