To Release Anchored Objects

Use this procedure to release anchored objects, whether anchored with a curve, system, or reference anchor. When you release an anchored object from another object, you remove the relationship between the objects. You can release any anchored object, even those objects anchored by default when added to a drawing.

To release anchored objects

  1. Select one or more objects with anchors that you want to release.
  2. Release the objects:
    If you want to release… then…
    objects anchored with curve anchors right-click, and click Curve Anchor Release.
    objects anchored with systems anchors right-click, and click Systems Anchor Release.
    objects anchored with reference anchors right-click, and click Reference Anchor Release.

    The objects are released; however, no change is visible.
