How are you guys? In today's video? We're gonna be looking at how to delete shapes within your cat meat. Here. This will be for fabric and software, but before that, let's have a quick intro first, so today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za z. We make sure and easy to watch problem solving videos, and we also have daily updates. Otherwise, we get into the programme here now the leading your shapes. This is also pretty straight forward, and this is something you might use often seeing that there is no undo or redo. So you might find that you place a shape, maybe the wrong size or placement. Then, um, sometimes the best thing to do is just to remove it. There is other ways we can go about changing it, and that, but more advanced. But we will be covering that as well. So now when it comes to the leading shapes, that is pretty straightforward if you are not on the wrong thing. So if I have a shape selected and let's say I'm gonna put in some random values, it's okay, and then I want to delete this shape If I click on that, you see, nothing happens the same way. If a placement selected, nothing will happen until you've clicked twice. So if I've clicked and then click again, then you can see we can actually select the shape. Just make sure you do select on the blue lines because anywhere else nothing will happen can also opposite Dragon drop and make a selection of that. Now, um, if you're also stuck and you cannot select, it is worth while using one of these buttons. So I would say maybe the pan and then you click the pan again and then what will happen? I said, Well, deactivate any of these features that was active and then you can select your shape. Then once you have your ship selected, you can simply just hit the delete key on your keyboard, which is normally on top of the arrows. If you look down at your keyboard, you've got arrows on top. Is the elite the same as most other programmes? And if you have a numpad also at the bottom right next to the Inter, there will also be a delete. Then, if you press that button will delete the shape before you. But like I said, keep in mind there's no undoing that. So now you can just quickly eat, undo or controls bread and bring it back. That shape is gone. So don't just go recklessly and click on things, deleting it unless you don't mind some extra work putting them back. So, just otherwise, a quick recap. So delete shapes and make sure you select your shape first. Very important and only the ones you want to delete. And then you press the delete key on your keyboard, and, uh, you can go on from there, but otherwise that is it On the leading shapes.
