Delete a canvas plane

Sketching > How do I? > Use canvas planes >

Permanently remove a canvas plane.

If you no longer need a canvas plane (for example, if you have finished sketching and exported the sketch image), you may want to delete it. (If you save a wire file that contains a canvas plane, the sketch image will be saved within the wire file, and the wire file may become significantly larger.)

To delete individual canvas planes

Open the Construction Plane Editor (Windows > Editors > Construction Plane Editor ).
Select the canvas plane you want to delete by clicking the small pick icon to the left of the canvas plane’s name.
To select more than one canvas plane, hold down the key.

When a canvas is selected the pick icon turns red.
Choose Delete > Delete Active or press .
The selected canvas planes are deleted.

To delete all canvas planes

Choose Delete > Painting > Delete Canvases .

NoteThe option window lets you choose if you want to delete All overlays, All canvases, All canvases and overlays, or only Unbookmarked overlays.
