Deleting a Subpart of an MPP

You can delete any subpart of a multipart path (MPP). Subparts are listed at the top on the ROD Subpart form.

Remember, you must make all deletions to subparts before entering the last point of your MPP on the layout canvas. You cannot change an MPP after clicking on its last point; instead, you must delete the whole MPP and re-create it. It is safest to save your form values as a template before drawing an MPP in your cellview. Then, if you need to delete a subpart, you can re-create the MPP from the template and use the ROD Subpart form to delete the subpart.

To delete a subpart while creating an MPP:

1. In the Create Multipart Path form, click the Subpart button.
   The ROD Subpart form appears.
   Existing subparts are listed in the box at the top of the form.
2. Select the subpart you want to delete.
3. To delete the selected subpart from the data listed at the top of the ROD Subpart form, click Delete.
   The subpart is deleted from the subparts listed in the form.
4. To delete the subpart from the MPP in the cellview, click OK or Apply in the ROD Subpart form.
   The selected subpart is deleted from the MPP in the current cellview.
   Your changes affect only the MPP in the current layout window. If you want to remove the deleted subpart from an MPP template, you need to save the current form values to the MPP template, overwriting the old values.

You can also use the shortcut menu in the Property Editor assistant to delete a subpath.
