deleting 'points' or 'dots' after using command MEASURE?

deleting 'points' or 'dots' after using command MEASURE?

deleting 'points' or 'dots' after using command MEASURE?

(OP)
This is probably simple but I've not found anything to do with this in autodesk help.

How do you get rid of 'points' or 'dots' you add to a polyline after using the command MEASURE?

I did manage to find an autolisp called 'killdots' but after running it, the dots still remain.

I want to be able to change the distance between the points I've put on the line.  But if I use the measure command again, it just adds additional points to the line.

I vaguely remember a way to do this many moons ago, but does this actually exist??

Thanks for any help in advance guys...

RE: deleting 'points' or 'dots' after using command MEASURE?

You could try using the express tool Fast Select ('fs at the command line) if you have them installed. Just remember to remove the original polyline (and any other entities that touch the polyline) from your selection set before erasing.

With the Express Tools You can use the command "ssx"
Commandmacro for a new button:

ERASE (SSX) [SPACE BAR] E [SPACE BAR] POINT [SPACE BAR] [SPACE BAR] [SPACE BAR]

To see the points better, use pdmode and pdsize
