Can't erase objects

mdieckmeyer — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 02:56:23 GMT

I got this base drawing and started working on it and when I zoomed out I saw these objects and I can't select them and erase them.

Any clues?

See attached.

hi,

thats just a command to delete, watch my screencast. my Intention was just to see if he can delete everything with this command. if not there is an other issue.

here a Link to see more Information about the command.

Hi,

oh yes ... now it's clear. since we have plain AutoCAD and this command didn't exist in our versions as your AutoCAD Mechanical.

Many thanks.. 🙂

Hi,

since we have your CAD file it wasn't hardware acceleration issue and as seen in below image i notice two big unselectable circles !!! i don't know from where they come maybe it's a scale matter for some items. to get rid of them just switch to any layout (T1 cover) and get back to model to found that you can select them and delete.(see attached CAD file)

Good Luck...
