Deleting stuff

Here we show you several easy ways to delete different things from the page:

You can also:

Most of the tools we describe in this section are in the Main Toolbox, except the Flipchart bin  

Rub out with the Eraser

The Eraser works on any annotations as long as they are on the top layer.

You can use the Eraser in two ways:

  • To rub an annotation out completely.

  • To break an annotation into separate objects. This has the advantage that you can then select and manipulate the remaining parts of the annotation as separate objects.

To rub something out with the Eraser:

  1. Click on the Eraser. The cursor changes to a little eraser with a circle.

  2. Position the cursor where you want to begin.

  3. Click and drag to rub out all or part of the annotation.

 You can change the width of the Eraser in the same way you change the width of the Pen or Highlighter.

 

Clear the page

To delete everything on the current page, click Clear and select Clear Page.

You can use Clear for a number of different purposes, for example, to delete all annotations, or delete all objects and leave everything else in place.

Clear is also available from the Edit Menu.

Reset the page

This is a quick way to undo all the changes you made to the current page since the last time the flipchart was saved.

Reset Page is also available from the Edit Menu.

Undo and Redo

Undo and Redo are powerful tools that can quickly get you out of all kinds of trouble!

For example, if you've used any of the above tools too freely and you need to restore some or all of what you've deleted.

Use the Flipchart bin  

If the Flipchart bin is visible you can delete objects in the following ways:

  • Drag an object or objects to the Flipchart bin and drop them when a red arrow appears in the Flipchart bin.
  • Select an object or objects, then click on the Flipchart bin to delete them.

 You can always recover your objects with Undo .
