REMOVE


Function
Deletes files, devices, symbols, packages, and sheets.

Syntax
REMOVE name
REMOVE name.Sxx

See also OPEN, RENAME

Files

The REMOVE command is used to delete the file "name" if in board editing mode.

Devices, Symbols, Packages

The REMOVE command is used to delete the device, symbol or package "name" from the presently opened library. Please ensure that the corresponding mode is active. For example, when removing a symbol it is best to first load a symbol.

If no symbol, device, or package is being edited, the name is interpreted as a device name, or as a package name if no Schematic Module is present.

Symbols and packages can be erased from a library only if not used by a device.

Sheets

The REMOVE command may also be used to delete a sheet from a schematic. The name of the presently loaded schematic can be omitted. The parameter xx represents the sheet number, for example:

REMOVE .S3
deletes sheet no. 3 from the presently loaded schematic.

If you delete the currently loaded sheet, sheet no. 1 will be loaded after the command has been executed. All sheets with a higher number than the one deleted will get a number reduced by one.

UNDO does not work with this command. If you have deleted a sheet accidentally it will be present in the "old" schematic file as long as the "new" file has not been saved.

REMOVE clears the UNDO buffer.
