Deleting with Power Erase
Power Erase is an intelligent erase command. It detects the object information
of a part. If you delete a screw connection with Power Erase, the representation
of the background is automatically corrected.
Before you delete the standard part, you have to zoom into it.
To zoom to the standard part to delete
1 Zoom to the extents of the drawing. On the command line, enter ZOOM
2 Respond to the prompts as follows:
[All/Center/Dynamic/Extents/Previous/Scale/Window/Object] <real
time>: Enter E, press ENTER
3 On the command line, enter ZOOM.
4 Respond to the prompts as follows:
[All/Center/Dynamic/Extents/Previous/Scale/Window/Object] <real
time>: Ener W, press ENTER
Specify first corner: Specify first corner point (1)
Specify opposite corner: Specify second corner point (2)
