Delete no show items

(OP)
In Catia V4 how can I delete all items in "no show"?

RE: Delete no show items

Hi,

Erase - click on NS - write *SPC on keyboard or chose to select what you want from pull down menu - push Enter - Yes to switch from No Show - click on other command.

You can find also another way to do it....

Fernando

Sorry, I didn't use v4 for few months... :)

Thank you for your answers.
Do I have to choose the items to be erased one by one? is there a command?

RE: Delete no show items

Hi,

Are you working in 3D or 2D? For 3D, if you want to select everything you have to write *SPC and hit enter or choose for example a colour (*COL5 - colour number 5, hope I remember corectly because I don't have now a v4 workstation in the office) or something else...

You can use also Select pull down menu to select what you want.

Same thing for 2D.

Maybe it will be also good for you to read the on-line help (if its installed).

Regards
Fernando

I am working with 3D.
I have imported an iges file, put all unwanted geometry in NO SHOW and now I am trying to erase them to reduce the file size but I think I am missing a step.
After choosing erase from where I choose the NO SHOW? from the right hand side menu under the ERASE or from the bottom toolbar?

RE: Delete no show items

1) Use FK Erase
2) Select No-Show from menu bar
3) Select Yes to switch to no-show space
4) Select Erase from menu bar
5) Key in "*spc" to erase all space elements in no-show

RE: Delete no show items

If you are trying to delete surfaces in no-show.

Surfaces that are parents to faces can not be deleted, these will always be part of the model, you can not delete those.

RE: Delete no show items

(OP)
Thank you very much for your help.
I managed to reduce the file size to about 20% of the original size.

RE: Delete no show items

I know it's a late one, but may be useful for the future...
There is a command named KEEP. Leave out in the show workspace everything you need and run KEEP, write down *SPC on keyboard and everything else except your desired elements and their possible parents are gone. Beware, this will also erase your layer filters too!

Best regards,
Stely
