Deleting Drawing Instances

Drawing instances, once placed in a layout, can be removed using the entity delete features available from the Edit Menu. To remove a single instance from an existing layout, the Delete Single Select feature, found in the Edit pull-down menu, can be used. This is the global delete feature. When deleting multiple instances, use the Edit>Delete Multiple Select. This feature would also be used if you needed to delete geometry in addition to an instance (or multiple instances).
