Delete Elements

I have a model from my customer that contains several hundred parts/ elements. I am responsible for manufacturing a small handful of them. I can make the excess parts/ elements become transparent, but they still exist. The next session/ time I open the software they reappear. Acrobat does not remember that those excess elements are to be suppressed. Can someone offer a solution?
Barry in St. Louis

Hi Barry,
There are a couple of ways to handle this problem. One would be to right-click on the active 3D model and select "Edit in 3D Toolkit..." in the context menu. In the 3D Toolkit you can delete all of the model parts that you don't want in the scene. When you save the file the 3D model in the PDF is automatically updated. Go to File > Save As... , give the file a new name, and there you go. If you want, you can also update the poster using the 3D Tool; Tools > Advanced Editing > 3D Tool - click the "Retrieve poster from default view" radio button.
The other thing you can do in the PDF is isolate the part, which it sounds like you already know how to do. Either select the part in the 3D scene or from the structure list in the Model Tree, right-click on it and go to Part Options > Isolate in the context menu. Then, and this is the crucial part, use one of the Comment & Mark up tools to make a comment in the 3D scene. When you do this you end up with the CommentCiew in the Views list, and, if you look in the Model Tree, you'll notice a child of that CommentView which is the actual comment. If you want, you can delete the comment. What you want is the Comment View. The CommentView is the best way to store all of the different attributes, like, in your case, node visibility. Although, it also stores background color, camera position, render mode, lighting, etc.
Of the two methods I have described, I would prefer the first in some cases. The first method will only contain the single part in the final PDF, so the file size be much smaller. However, the second method with the isolated view is excellent if you still want only a reference of the single part, but want to be able to compare to an entire assembly.

  • How to delete elements from a cluster?

    Hello. I would like to know how to delete elements from a cluster. I got stuck with this problem. There is its own order of each element in a cluster. I tried to initiate an array but it seems like too complicated. In the attached file, I want to obtain only the data from "flow" not "pressure". I try to use array programming but it doesn't work. Would be nice if you help me to fix the file. Thanks
    Solved!

    What about if I want to store data into the pressure array too? Do I have to create another loop or it can be done in the same loop as the flow loop?
    Try this, for example. Modify as needed.

  • Deleteing element by element in 2D array

    Is there away to delete element by element in 2D array without changing the dimensions to 1D array. I want to select the first 20 element reading across the rows. For example, If I have 2D array with 6 element in each raw. I want to select the first three rows and 2 elements from the four raw.
    Regards
    Hussain

    Maybe I completely misunderstand what the OP tried to say / do, but you can accomplish it without using clusters.  Comments from others are correct, you cannot resize the 2D array by deleting elements within a given row..  However, maybe you want to achieve what is described below.
    Do keep in mind that if you attempt this with a numeric array, you may want to use 0 or 'NaN' as your deleted value.
    See code below which should be self-explanatory.  There are probably better improvements of the example, but the purpose was simply to show how it can be done.
    Array 1 shows the original 2D array and it's values.
    Array 2 shows how you can "delete" or replace its element with a "deleted" value.
    Array 3 shows how you can "delete" multiple elements (replace multiple elements with a "deleted" value).

  • Can deleting Elements 3 affect Elements 7?

    I was running out of space on my computer so I removed Elements 3 (I'm now using 7). When I went back into a video I'm editing in 7, all the letters in the section titles have turned into boxes. And when I try to type in new titles, more boxes appear. Can this have happened because of deleting Elements 3? Is there a fix for this apart from reinstalling both 3 and 7?

    Deleting one should not affect the other. Though reinstalling 7 won't hurt.
    Still, if you're that tight on hard drive space, you may be having other problems. The programs themselves only take up a few gigs of space. But, when they're running, they usually need between 20 and 30 gigs of free, defragmented C drive space for paging and scratch files.
    If you haven't got at least 20-30 gigs of free, defragmented space on your C drive, the program isn't going to run right.

  • List.clear() outside of List finalList = new ArrayList(); will delete element in finalList?

    Hello all!
    I am using 3 ArrayLists.
    the first is List<String>
    the second is List<String[]>
    and the third is a list of those lists List<List>
    I use the first list to get the string I need, but I use the second for String.split.
    I then need to keep a list of these to use, so I need the third List.
    After adding the second list to the list of lists I want to clear it so I can set up the next list to be added, but if I do list.clear(); it will delete everything in that list.
    If I do not clear it, it is fine.
    At first I wasn't sure if it was my fault, because I'm not sure if I ever had to do that before, so I made a test case that yields the result if I change the element outside.
    * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
    * and open the template in the editor.
    package javaapplication1;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    * @author Konrad
    public class JavaApplication1 {
         * @param args the command line arguments
        String a;
        List<String> j = new ArrayList<>();
        public JavaApplication1()
            a();
        public void a()
            a = "ADASDSADSA";
            j.add(a);
            a = null;
            System.out.println(j);
        public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
            JavaApplication1 a = new JavaApplication1();
    If I change a = null to a = ""; it still yields the original a = "ADASD......";
        protected List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
        protected List<String[]> list2 = new ArrayList<>();
        protected List<List> finalList = new ArrayList<>();
      finalList.add(list2);
                     //list2.clear();
    With this I yield an empty array element, even though my array elements exist.  I tried using multiple lists and I just had multiple empty elements.
    So again I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or is this a bug?  Since my test case worked, I'm confused.
    Thanks!

    After adding the second list to the list of lists I want to clear it so I can set up the next list to be added, but if I do list.clear(); it will delete everything in that list.
    Correct - you are just working with multiple references to the SAME set of objects.
    Use 'remove' to remove an element from a list and then 'add' to add it to the other list.
    See the Javadocs for the 'remove' method of the List interface
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/List.html#remove(int)
    remove
    E remove(int index)
    Removes the element at the specified position in this list (optional operation). Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices). Returns the element that was removed from the list.   
    Parameters: 
    index - the index of the element to be removed 
    Returns: 
    the element previously at the specified position 
    Throws: 
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the remove operation is not supported by this list 
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())

  • How to delete element using XmlCursor

    Hi
    I am using XMLBeans for bidirectional binding (XML to Java and after user updates
    back to XML).
    I do not want to use a direct setter (e.g. doc.setAccount (account)) because I
    am developing a framework and I need to provide an API to the callers. It would
    have helped if the setters accepted XmlObject, then I could use polymorphism.
    But that is a different topic.
    Hence, I have tried to use cursors. I have my cursor advance to an element. I
    do not find a method in the Javadoc to delete the element (so that I can replace
    it with the updated XML). I tried the method remove, but got an error that read
    "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't remove this". Does not tell why (reminded
    me of MC Hammer).
    Can someone tell me what method I can use to delete or update the element being
    pointed by the cursor ?
    Thus if Account is a complex Type, I would like to update just the Account element
    (and all the elements it contains). The rest of the doc should remain the same.
    Thanks

    Remove is the correct function to call on the cursor. If the current token is
    a start token, then the remove should work. You will get such a message if the
    current token is s startdoc, enddoc or end.

  • Deleting elements from a binary heap

    I have to create a binary heap class and perform various operations. Every operation works except deleteMin, which gives an "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1" exception in every case I've tried. Supposedly it's coming from line 85, which I put a line comment next to in the code below.
         * Deletes the smallest element (the root) from the heap and returns that value.
         * The heap is then reordered so that it is still a valid heap.
         * @return the root of the heap, a T type value
        public T deleteMin(){
            if(size == 0)
                throw new MyException();
            T returnValue = arr[0];
            T item = arr[size-1];
            size--;
            int hole = 0;
            int newHole = newHole(hole, item);
            while(newHole < arr.length - 1){
                arr[hole] = arr[newHole];  // ERROR IS HERE?
                hole = newHole;
                newHole = newHole(hole, item);
            arr[hole] = item;
            return returnValue;
         * Gives the index of where the next hole in the heap will be.
         * @param hole the index of the current hole
         * @param item the last element in the heap
         * @return the index of the next hole to be checked
        private int newHole(int hole, T item){
            int newHole = -1;
            if(arr[2*hole + 1] != null || arr[2*hole + 2] != null){
                if(arr[2*hole + 2] == null){
                    if((arr[2*hole + 1]).compareTo(item) < 0){
                        newHole = 2*hole + 1;
                else {
                    int smallerItem;
                    // may need >= param
                    if((arr[2*hole + 1]).compareTo(arr[2*hole + 2]) > 0)
                        smallerItem = 2*hole + 2;
                    else
                        smallerItem = 2*hole + 1;
                    if((arr[smallerItem]).compareTo(item) < 0)
                        newHole = smallerItem;
            return newHole;
        }I know I set newHole = -1 in the private method, which may be the problem, but the pseudo code my teacher gave me says to do just that. She gave us the pseudo code using a heap of int, the code is designed for a generic, comparable class. The test class uses a heap<String>. I just can't see why the problem is arising. Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?

    arr[hole] = arr[newHole]; // ERROR IS HERE?I'd say that I bet newHole == -1, so you're trying to access element -1 in the array, which of course is out of bounds.

  • Deleting elements from Arrays.

    Hello,
    I have to be able in this latest exercise to delete an element from an Array. I was wondering if you could give me code examples on how to do this. I am pretty sure that you have to read through the array and return "null" when you hit the element that you want to delete in the array.
    Thank you.

    Look through the forum. There are at least two other threads open with people asking the same question.
