Deleting features from the map and from the Desktop Application

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

To delete features from both the geodatabase and the desktop:

1. In ArcMap, start an edit session.
2. It is highly recommended that you modify the selectable layers in your map using the ESRI selection window in the table of contents.  Only make selectable the layer(s) in the map from which you wish to delete features.  A check placed in the box to the left of the layer indicates that the layer is 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 you wish to delete by drawing a box around the feature(s).
5. After selecting the feature(s) with the Delete tool, they should no longer appear in the map.  To complete the deletion process you must save your edit session.  Once the save edit process has been completed, the features will no longer exist in the map or in the desktop.

   Note: If you accidentally deleted the wrong feature in the map using the Delete tool, you can recover this feature by: NOT saving the edit session, or by using the Undo function to undo the delete and then clearing the Lucity Edit Cache by selecting Editing Tools > Clear Lucity Edit Cache on the Lucity GIS Edit toolbar.
