SKM Naming issue

[supermanengineer]

How would I rename the component with the same old name in SKM. When I try to rename the component with the same old name, it gives me a message "Non-unique name in this or other scenarios". Please note that I did no destroyed the component I have only removed it from Single line diagram before renaming.

The fact that you have not destroyed the component means the original name still exists as the component is still in the model.
I believe you will have to either use a new name or destroy the original component in the Base scenario and start again with a new component using the old name.

How would I delete a component in the base scenario if I can't find it on the single line diagram. Is there anyway to this? I only have the base scenario.

If you open the Component Editor (top left icon) in the Menu Bar, you will be able to identify and delete the component by right clicking it, this will open the sub menu allowing you to then destroy the component.
Depending on the version of SKM you have you may also find unused components by clicking on "Find Not in any One-Line" in the "Edit" menu, double click the component which will allow you to destroy it again by right clicking etc.
