How to Delete Selection Set?

[Inspections_JCH]

While editing a sketch, I have created a selection set of six straight lines. Now I no longer need the selection set, but I wish the lines to remain. How do I delete the selection set? When Right Click on the selection set I am shown a choice of DELETE, but it does nothing.

I don't think selection sets are intended to work with sketch elements.

Stop the sketch and then delete the selection set.

I believe selection sets are intended to be used in sketches, or Autodesk would not have put it in the menu.

Which is obviously why you are not having any problems ?

@jeff_strater could you help ?

Is there any way to get an interpretation from Autodesk on this question? Is it common for Autodesk to place menu choices where they do nothing. Or, are the menu selections in Fusion 360 written in some other language that does not translate well to English? Is everyone who uses Fusion 360 able to discern what is intentional and what is accidental?

I cannot comment on other Autodesk software, but that is definitely true for Fusion 360. And that seems to be the problem here and in your other thread where copy/paste in a sketch does not seem to do what the UI suggests.

You get used to that after a while.

I still think, however, that Fusion 360 would be a very different application if they would just clean up all the UI mess. That makes much more difference in day to day operation than al the big bling features.

I found that I could delete them after Finishing the Sketch, going from Design to Manufacturing, going back to Design, then right click and delete.  Cumbersome but worked for me.
