Deleting the "aux" layer

  1. Click Off the profile layer.
  2. Choose Geometry Delete All Types (or use the GiD Toolbox).
  3. Select all the lines that appear on the screen. (The click-and-drag technique may be used to make the selection.)
  4. Press ESC to conclude the selection of elements to delete.
  5. Select the "aux" layer in the Layers window and click Delete.

NOTE: When a layer is clicked Off, GiD gives note of this. From that moment on, whatever is drawn does not appear on the screen since it goes on the hidden layer.

NOTE: To cancel the deletion of elements after they have been selected, open the mouse menu, go to Contextual and choose Clear Selection.

NOTE: Elements forming part of higher level entities may not be deleted. For example, a point that defines a line may not be deleted.

NOTE: A layer containing information may not be deleted. First the contents must be deleted.
