NAME
DELETE - Delete a component
SYNOPSIS
DEL [<comp>[<layer>]] [[:P] <xysel>...] [:R <xy1> <xy2>...] <EOC>
DESCRIPTION
Deletes a component from the current device. Optionally can be restricted
to only delete a specified <component> and <layer>. In any case, only
components which have been made modifiable by the SHOW command can be
deleted.
Components to be deleted can be selected either by point or by region.
The default mode is select by point. However, if you change to delete
by region with :R, you can later change back with :P. The selection
mode is "sticky" so you can do multiple deletes of the same type
without re-entering the option.
When selecting by point, an <xysel> selects and highlights the component
to be moved.
The :R options allows selection by region. A bounding box is selected
with <xy1> and <xy2>. A rubberband rectangle will be displayed once
<xy1> is entered. When <xy2> is entered, all components within the bounding
box matching the [<comp>[<layer>]] restriction will be deleted.
OPTIONS
- <comp>
-
A designator limiting the command to a given component type.
One of E=everything, A=arc, C=circle, I=instances, L=lines,
N=notes, O=oval, P=polygons, R=rectangles, T=text, or a valid
instance name. If an instance name is given, only instances of
that name will be selected. If no <comp> is given, then
components of any type may be selected.
- <layer>
-
Layer number, "0" or omitted designates all layers. Not used
when <component> is an instance name.
Layer number, "0" or omitted designates all layers.
- <xysel>
-
A point to select the component to be deleted.
- <xy1>
-
First corner of the bounding box for delete by region.
