Remove Subset Tool

Delete a subset placed in the model and, in the same click, clear every machining operation it had created on the host parts — drillings, pockets, edges, construction points and hardware.

Delete Subset

Removes an assembly (subset) placed on a panel and cleans up all its associated machinings (drillings, pockets, hardware parts) on the underlying panel.

How it works

  1. Launch the Delete Subset tool from the toolbar.
  2. Move the cursor over the subset you want to remove — it is highlighted with a red bounding box.
  3. Click to delete the subset. Its machinings on the panel (edges, construction points, hardware parts) are cleaned up automatically.
  4. Continue picking other subsets, or press Esc to exit.

Keys

  • Shift = Extend selection to sibling parts of the same subset on the current panel.
  • Esc = Cancel the operation.

Tips

  • The tool detects the subset via the subset attribute stored on its component — only tagged subsets can be picked.
  • Deleting a subset also erases the edges, construction points and hardware/assembly parts inside its footprint on the host panel.
  • Use it to safely clean up assemblies without leaving orphaned machinings behind.
