Lucity Delete

The Lucity edit extension does not track when a feature is deleted out of ArcMap. Therefore, if users delete a feature using the delete key or some other method in ArcMap the feature will be deleted out of the geodatabase, but will remain in Lucity. To delete features out of both the geodatabase and Lucity, users need to use the Delete tool on the Lucity Edit toolbar

Warning: The Lucity GIS delete tool will delete all selected features from both the geodatabase AND the desktop application.  Use extreme caution when using this tool to prevent the unintentional deletion of features.

How To

Delete Features in the geodatabase and Lucity

1. In ArcMap, start an edit session.
2. It is highly recommended to modify the selectable layers in the map using the ESRI selection window in the table of contents.  Only make the layer(s) in the map, that features will be deleted from, selectable.

   

3. Click the Lucity Delete tool on the Lucity GIS Edit toolbar.
4. Using the Lucity Delete tool, select the feature(s) in the map to delete by drawing a box around the feature(s).
5. The following prompt will appear with the number of selected features and asking for confirmation of the delete.

   

6. The features will automatically be deleted and they should no longer appear in the map.  To complete the deletion process users must save their edit session.  Once the save edit process has been completed, the features will no longer exist in the map or in Lucity.

   Note: If the wrong feature is accidentally deleted using the Delete tool, it can recovered by: by stopping the edit session and NOT saving edits.
