Delete outside a marquee

[Malcolm Woodruff]

I sometimes, inadvertently, send an item a very long way outside my area of work. It then becomes difficult to find it and delete it.  What I would like to have is a tool that would delete everything outside of a marquee.

This would also be great for preparing large collections of curves for sitemodelling - delete everything outside of a polygon (cutting crossing polylines)

Usually do a Marquee Selection when everything is active and editable

and than just choose "Invert Selection"

AFAIK you can reach that over right click option menu if things selected,

at least you find it in the regular Menu / Edit (?)

 

You can do so also to fit these objects in view for examination before

really deleting.
