Perimeter Support: Delete Bolt Pattern

The Delete Bolt Pattern option (Perimeter Support) allows you to delete bolt patterns which have been added to the perimeter.

Note: it is not possible to delete individual bolts in a pattern. Pattern bolts can only be deleted as a group.

To delete bolt patterns on the perimeter:

  1. First, make sure you are viewing the Perimeter Support Design view (select the Perimeter Support Design button from the toolbar).

  2. Select the Delete Bolt Pattern option from the Sidebar or the Edit sub-menu of the Support menu.

TIP - you can also right click directly on any bolt in a pattern you wish to delete and select Delete Bolt Pattern from the popup menu. This will immediately delete the pattern.

  1. You will be prompted to select a bolt pattern to delete. To select a bolt pattern click on any bolt in the pattern. The entire pattern will be selected (highlighted by dotted lines). If you have multiple bolt patterns that you wish to delete, you can select any number of patterns, by clicking on each one with the mouse, or by clicking and dragging a selection window around any of the bolts in the pattern(s).

  2. When you are finished selecting, right click and select Done Selection, or press Enter, and all selected patterns will be deleted.

  3. Remember, if you accidentally delete a pattern, you can always just select Undo to restore the pattern.
