Clear Data

A selection of options are available to clear data from inspection features either in preparing a template file or for remeasuring.

The Clear Data of Selected Features offers an option to remove the data associated with the selected features. This does not delete the data, only clears them so that new data can be associated.

Clear All Data Associations offers an efficient means to clear all data associations.

The corresponding delete commands do the same. Delete Data of Selected Features deletes the data currently associated with the selected features and the Delete All Associated Data with clean out the job file by deleting any data associated with features.

Sweep & Move was added to allow collection management and easier repeat measurement of common features in separate collections. This function only works with relationships not GD&T features. When you press the Sweep & Move Icon you will see the following dialog:

By utilizing the Sweep & Move feature, a user may choose to either copy or move relationships from the active collection to a destination collection. By selecting COPY, a duplicate set of the relationships will be built in the new collection, constructed point associations will be maintained while clearing measured points from these new relationships. By choosing MOVE, relationships will be moved into a destination collection, leaving the measured points and constructed geometry only in the original collection.

The last two items under the Clear Data button are almost exclusively for debugging or troubleshooting.
