Removing loads

You can remove loads from rigging objects in the model and in schematic views. Removing a load breaks its association with the rigging object it was attached to. By contrast, simply moving a load off of its rigging object will not break the association. An attached load will continue to move and rotate with its associated rigging object until one of the following methods for removal is used.

Removing loads with the Manage Loads tool

As described in Managing loads, the Manage Loads tool is available for objects in the model and in schematic views.

To remove one or more loads from a rigging object or hanging position:

Click the tool and mode.

Alternatively, to remove a load from its hanging position, either select the hanging position, and select Remove from Hanging Position from the drop-down context menu of the load to remove, or delete the rigging object's position name from the load object's Position field.

Select a rigging object/hanging position.

Click the load to remove. The currently attached loads are highlighted as the cursor moves over them.

The load is removed from the rigging/hanging object but is not automatically moved off of it.

If schematic views were created from the rigging object, the corresponding load is deleted from all schematic views; see Concept: Schematic views.

Removing loads in the schematic view

In addition to the Manage Loads tool, a context menu command can be used to remove loads from a schematic view. This does not affect the model; see Concept: Schematic views.

To remove a load from a schematic rigging object:

Do one of the following:

To remove a single schematic load, select the load to remove.

To remove multiple loads, select the associated schematic rigging object.

A drop-down context menu displays on the schematic load(s).

Select the command.

The load is deleted from the schematic view.
