Introduction

The Delete Permanently command removes a feature in your inspection report. Unlike the Delete Command, the feature will be removed and the following features will move up and be numbered. The command verifies that the feature has no references attached to it. These include whether the feature was used in a recall, construction or is part of a PCS component.

Deleting a Feature through the pull-down menus

To remove a feature, activate the Delete Permanently mode. Enter a Feature Number which specifies the feature to be removed, see figure 1. Press the <Ok> button and the feature will be validated to ensure there are no references attached it it. If approved it will be removed from the inspection report and all features after that will be renumbered.

Removing a feature can also be done through the use of the mouse by highlighting the feature in the inspection report and calling the submenu by right-clicking. Choose [Delete Permanently] to complete the operation.

NOTE: Geomet will prompt you with a warning that the delete operation will take place. By accepting the warning, the feature will be deleted.

NOTE: If the feature has references attached to it, Geomet will prompt the operator with a message, see figure 2.

TIP: This command permanently removes the record from the inspection report database. To provide a safe path to reinstate the feature, use the Edit History Tool.
