Deletes one or more selected features from the graphics window or the browser.
If applicable, you can also delete consumed sketches and work or surface features, dependent 2D and 3D sketches, sketched features, or dependent work features.
Colors on the dialog box correspond to the highlight color of the selected geometry in the graphics window.
- Access
- Right-click, and select Delete. In the Additionally Delete box, select the geometry to delete with the feature.

Note: If you do not delete the dependent sketches and features, the retained sketches and features enter the sick state. In the browser, an alert symbol displays next to the affected sketch and feature entries. Use Redefine to reassociate the sketch to another planar face or work plane in the assembly.
- consumed sketches and features
- Selected by default. In addition to the selected feature, sketches, surface features, and work features consumed by the feature are deleted. Option is available only if one or more features are sketch-based. Does not affect dependent sketched features that were not selected with the parent feature.
To retain sketches and features consumed by the selected feature, clear the checkbox.
- dependent sketches and features
- Selected automatically if the feature contains dependent unconsumed sketches and sketch-based features.
To retain all dependent unconsumed sketches and sketch-based features when the parent feature is deleted, clear the checkbox.
Note: Grounded work planes are automatically created when you retain a dependent sketch. You can constrain the work planes in the part environment, or use the Redefine command to move the sketches onto other work planes.
- dependent work features
- Selected automatically if the feature contains dependent work features.
To retain dependent work features when the parent feature is deleted, clear the checkbox.
Retained work features are grounded.
