AnaisR Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 First of all I'd like to thank everyone for all the help given out on this BB. It's very useful! Thanks a lot to Katie and Tomu! Here's for another question, if anyone knows. When accessing the Class pop-up in one of my documents, some classes offer the option to be removed, for others the option is greyed. What defines this? Some of my classes were imported when an object of that class was pasted into my document. The others come from a template. But this does not define which class can be removed and which one cannot. cheers, anaisR. Windows NT VW, Mechanical 10.5 Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 A gray diamond next to a class or layer means anything in that class or layer is grayed on the drawing. A black diamond means the layer or class is visible and a white diamond means the layer or class is invisible. Quote Link to comment
AnaisR Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 No I mean I want to actually delete the class. That is an option 'remove' in the class pop-up and is sometimes not an active option (that what I meant by greyed). I do not understand when I am not allowed to delete a class. anaisr.

MikeB Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 The "None" Class and the "Dimension" Class cannot be removed, they are required by VW for certain things, they can be renamed, but not removed. There may be others used in Plug-ins or symbols but I'm not sure. Good Luck Quote Link to comment
AnaisR Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 Of course! That was just me not thinking, that's what a long day in front of a pc does to you. cheers, anaisr. Quote Link to comment
AnaisR Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 Actually I have a class (other than Dimension and None) that also cannot be deleted. I have named it 'Eng 2D - Border' and it contains only my Drawing border and Custom Title Block. The class is created automatically with a template. It seems I cannot delete this class either. This is rather out of curiousity as this is not very important for me for this document, but how has this come to be? anaisr. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Did you import an AutoCad file? If you did, that class may have been locked or frozen in AC and there is no way for VW to unlock it in order to allow you to remove it. Quote Link to comment
AnaisR Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 No, I created it in VW 10.5.0 for a template. That's weird, isn't? anaisr. Quote Link to comment
AnaisR Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 I might have renamed my 'None' class to 'Eng 2D - border' so that the new class 'Eng 2D - border' has the same properties and cannot be removed. Then when I copied/pasted objects from another document that were themselves in the 'None' class it was created automatically in the target document, this time removable. Ok! It wasn't actually a problem! thanks! anaisr. Quote Link to comment
