Hello Guys!

After deleting objects by MEND command,I must click the save button to update the projdata database.Otherwise ,the data will not be purged automatically.So,is there any other command or funcion to delete the objects correctly and efficiently ?

Any help?Thank you in advance!

The mend command as well as the group erase are really your only options for doing an intelligent erase. At all times you should save your drawing every time you do an intelligent erase to make sure the database is updated

Thank you, Aplant Monkey!

What is the "Group Erase"?What should I type on the command line?

The Group erase command can be found in 2 spots, first it is part of the Group Command Toolbar loaded by going to the P&ID pull down then toolbars. Second you can go to the pull down P&ID Tools then select the Group option which will display the erase command. Follow the prompts when using the Group command, just remember no matter what it tells you it will ONLY erase entities that exist within the drawing that you are working in. Many people get confused when it asks you to erase ALL runs, just remember that it only erases within the current drawing.
