  1. In the Drawing view, select the item that you want to remove.

  2. Select Edit > Delete to Stockpile > Plant or select Edit > Delete to Stockpile > Drawing.

  3. Save the drawing.

    • You can select Delete on the main toolbar or press Delete on the keyboard to remove an item or a group of items from the drawing, too. First, select the item or items in the drawing. Then you must place the pointer in the Drawing view and press Delete. The software does not delete the item if the pointer is located anywhere outside the Drawing view. When deleting items in this way, the deletion behavior depends on properties set in Catalog Manager and Options Manager (see Notes).

    • You can also delete an item from the model when it is already in a stockpile. Select the item in the Engineering Data Editor, and select the Delete Stockpile Item command on the Stockpile menu of the Engineering Data Editor.

  • 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.

  • If you want to delete the item, its location in the drawing, and its properties in the database, right-click the item and on the shortcut menu, select Delete from Model. See Remove an Item from the Model.

  • When you delete inline components, the software automatically mends the pipe or signal run.
