Batch Actions

Template Inspector enables you to perform batch operations on multiple objects simultaneously, significantly improving efficiency when managing large numbers of objects. The batch action feature allows you to select multiple instances and change the assignment of objects from a dropdown selection for all selected inputs at once. Additionally, you can delete objects from the drawing after ensuring they are unused.

Overview

Delete and batch actions allow you to:

• Select multiple instances simultaneously
• Change object assignments from dropdown selection for all selected inputs at once
• Delete unused objects from the drawing

Multi-Object Selection

• Individual Selection - Select specific objects using checkboxes

Object Deletion

Template Inspector provides the ability to delete objects from the drawing, but requires that objects be unused before deletion to ensure data integrity.

Deletion Workflow

To delete objects safely:

1. Inspect Objects - Use the inspection feature to identify which objects are currently in use
2. Select Unused Objects for Deletion - Check the unused objects you want to delete
3. Execute Deletion - Click ‘Delete’ to remove the unused objects from the drawing
4. Confirm Deletion - A confirmation dialog will appear; confirm the action to proceed

Deletion Requirements

• Objects are not Constraint - Objects are not constraint for deletion.
