Deleting an Equation

To delete a global variable or an equation from any view:

  1. Select one or more rows, containing the global variables or equations you want to delete and right-click.
  2. From the flyout menu, select Delete or the Delete key.
  3. Click OK to close the Equations dialog box.
Deleting a global variable or equation may cause other equations that include the global variable or equation to become invalid. Syntax checking identifies this situation immediately by displaying a warning symbol and displaying the deleted term in red anywhere it appears in the Value/Equation field. This can dramatically reduce the time needed to detect and troubleshoot orphaned equations.
For sketches and features that contain equations, if you delete the sketch or feature, you can delete the equation directly from the Confirm Delete dialog box. Select the option Delete equation to delete the associated equations from the Equations, Global Dimensions, and Variables dialog box.
