Deleting points?

tj_thornileytj_thorniley Member Posts: 65
Can points be deleted (without nuking the entire sketch)? How? 

Particularly when removing, or trimming old lines (with the 'trim' tool), I'm often left with vestigial sketch points (from the 'point' tool) all over the place.

    Erm, Click on it and pres the delete key, or right click on it and select "delete sketch entity"?

    Make sure you've not got another feature pre-selected.  eg, if you have the line tool selected and then right click on the point you will have context sensitive "line option" not the delete option.

    I'm having a similar problem. I regularly have "orphaned" vertexes, usually along a line. Clicking such a vertex highlights it. Right-clicking and choosing "Delete sketch entity" does nothing -- it doesn't even show an error popup. Selecting such vertices through dragging doesn't work at all for me.

    I'm seeing the same thing in a model... Anyone have an answer on this one?

    FWIW I can't delete points in some cases, and I don't know why. I think, like Daniel/Eric said above, they points are "orphaned" -- at least in some cases.

    That is most likely an endpoint of a line rather that a point. That would be consistent with the behavior you’re showing. Try box selecting or using the key above your tab key (tilde ‘~’ on a US keyboard) to select from things which are on top of each other.
