Try to delete line

Try to delete line

Try to delete line

(OP)
I have problems to delete a line from a model in NX5.
The line is not used, not in a group, not the last element. When looking at it with information/object there is nothing. What should I try?

Thanks

RE: Try to delete line

First try refreshing your view to make sure the line is still there.  Refresh your screen, and hit the fit all view.

Now adjust your selection criteria so that you can select all curve and point types.  If the line is still there, try a show all move to see if it is part of something else.

If all else fails zoom out, use a box selection to select everything (check to make sure line was selected), then un-select the items you wish to keep and delete everything else.

RE: Try to delete line

Try a part clean-up.
File > utilities > part clean-up

Nope. Tried that. Very strange. I can select the lines. When I hit delete nothing happenes. No varnings or errors. They just will not go....

RE: Try to delete line

Select the lines and delete from the Edit menu as opposed to the delete or backspace button, then repeat.  You might have many multiple copies of the same line whatever it is...

Can you upload it

RE: Try to delete line

Oh yea, lines on top of lines.
That should have been my first guess - I totally forgot about that one.

RE: Try to delete line

select the lines with a rectangle instead of selecting individually.

You think it is not being used, or the system reports that it is not being used (information -> object)?

Thanks for the effort. I do select with "multi select". It is actually 12 lines on top of each other. I have tried edit/delete and according to information/object the lines are not used. I guess I could upload the file since it is very small. Lets see when I am back at the office tomorrow.
