Remove points and Project info - Help!

[jgroenhof]

Hi, my first post here. I need to thank you collectivly for some great answers I have gleaned in the past.

 

Here it is. One of our largest customers is requesting that our LDD 2000 drawings are submitted without the survey points or related layers included in the drawings. At the same time we need to keep the points in a master drawing for maitenance purposes.

 

I have been removing these points by creating a dummy project, and removing everything, leaving two drawings and a hard time managing any changes.

 

Does anybody have experience with a similar situation? How did you handle it if so?

 

Help! and thanks.

I would save my work. Then remove the points from the drawing not the database (if I remember right it's Points > remove from drawing) and saveas or export the file for them. If you saveas then you're done, but if you export be sure to not save after you remove the points from the drawing. You can either close without saving or undo to get the points back.

 

In our projects we have an email folder in the folder structure. I like to create a subfolder in there called "outbox" and save the files I'm emailing out there.

Rusty is right. After you remove the points from the drawing, not erase, you can do a save as and call it specific for your client. Then you can purge the layers that the points were under and they should go away.
