delete feature

[tnguyen]

Hi.
The operator screw up the the set up this morning. Now, I can not highlight and delete the feature. Could you insturct me for this issue ?

What kind of error are you getting? Once in a while during a major screw up lines of code that can't be deleted individually somehow can. When that happens the block that line belongs to can't be deleted and you get an error that says highlighted (my favorite word today) text can not be cut. If that is the case find your corrupt blocks and copy everything except them into a new program and create fresh blocks where the corrupt ones would have been (in the new program).

Or, find the corrupted line(s) and then insert a comment above the corrupted line(s) and a comment below the corrupted line(s). Then, highlite(if you can) and delete the two comments plus the code in between.

Oooo, nice trick.

Or just fall back to your good backup of the program. You do have a good backup copy of all your programs, right? If not, the time is ripe.

Let me clear my question.
Before that if I want to delete any feature in the window, I just simply using the mouse highlight that feature and the hit delete on keyboard. Now even I can not highlight it. I do not know why.
Have a good weekend

can not delete

I had the same problem.
Open new program, Open program with error.
Copy program with error.
Switch to new program.
Paste.
Program will paste up to error and stop.
I create feature with error that had error.
Switch back to program with error.
Copy rest of program.
switch back to new program and paste.
File save as new program
Close error program
run new program.
If new works correctly.
delete Error program.
