Deleting
or Replacing Resources
When a resource or
resource folder (with its contents) is deleted, all instances of
the resource in the active file can be deleted completely or replaced
with a locus or a different resource of the same type.
To delete a resource/resource folder:
From
the Resource Manager’s file browser pane, select the active file.
Right-click
on the resource/resource folder to delete, and select Delete
from the context menu.
Alternatively, select the resource/folder
and press the Delete key.
If there
are any instances of a deleted resource currently in the drawing,
the Delete [resource] dialog box opens. Otherwise an alert displays
to confirm the deletion.
Click
to show/hide the parameters.
Red symbols and plug-in object styles do
not offer the replacement options; the instances in the drawing are
converted to unstyled objects with the existing parameters. You can
replace the plug-in object style of all objects that use the style
by Creating Custom Selection Scripts.
Click
Yes.
The resource/folder is deleted and each
resource instance is either deleted or replaced with the selected resource.
You can select multiple resources to
delete at the same time. However, the option to replace instances of the
deleted resource with a different resource is available only if all the
resources selected for deletion are of the same type, such as all gradients
or all record formats.
