Removing Objects from Design Intents

To remove an object from a design intent:

1. Select the objects to be removed from the design intent either in the Navigator or on the canvas.
2. Right-click and from the menu displayed, choose Design Intent – Remove Object from Design Intent.
   A submenu is displayed if there are multiple design intents available for the selected objects.
3. Choose the design intent from which the objects are to be removed.
   The selected objects are removed from the design intent.
   If the selected object is the only object associated with a design intent, choose Design Intent —Remove Object from Design Intent to delete the design intent.
   
   You cannot remove a reference node using this method.
4. Record the removal and any relevant information in the Edit Design Intent form. This helps the designer of the other application understand the reasons behind the change.
   If the change is made in Schematics XL, the Sync button on the Design Intent toolbar is enabled in Layout XL and the affected objects are immediately displayed with a sync icon as a prompt to Sync Design Intent.
