Selecting / Deleting Multiple References at once.

Any plans to improve this functionality? We import large DWG sketch files, convert the lines, and adjust as needed. Deleting the many references one by one makes me miss a more mature cad platform.

Below is just one small part...

Thanks

    Yes agreed this can be really tedious. I often find this to take a lot of time

    Two workarounds -

    1) Use Transform to move the sketch entering a distance. This gets rid of all the 'Use' constraints. Then, if you want it in the original position, Transform again to move it back with the same distance. 

    2) Switch to an edge view of the sketch and the constraints will be above or below the sketch plane. Then you can window select them and delete groups.

    I'd never thought to try the second one. I just gave it a go and can't seem to get it to work. Seems like i can only pick one at a time. Any tips?

    You are correct - I was mistaken on the window select, it does not work.  Still wack a mole; just a little easier to get them.  I apologize! I thought I had done that before...  The transform is way to go for a lot of external references.
