Replace Function-way to delete instead of replace?

[boleyd]

Is there a way to delete all instead of replace all using the replace function? There is a certain type object all over the route I want to delete. Too many for individual actions.

Boleyd,you might want to go in to CMP right click on the route, go down to edit/ edit in explorer, double click on con.txt file and remove the kuid #s of the assets you don't want.

^ Good idea, or depending on what it is you could replace it with something very tiny so you dont notice it.

Removing an entry from the config's kuid table will have absolutely no effect...

Here's how I do it:

Find an item which is not built-in which can be used to replace the unwanted asset. This 'sacrificial' item must be something not already used on the route. This is important - the sacrificial item must be not built in and not already a route asset!

Use the 'Replace' utility to swap the unwanted asset for the sacrificial asset. Save the route.

Open CM and locate the 'sacrificial' asset you just placed on the route. Open it for edit. Drag the asset from the edit window to the desktop. Close the edit window. Delete the asset from CM. Close CM.

Open the route and select 'Delete Missing Assets' from the main menu. Save.

Open CM and drag the 'sacrificial' asset folder back into CMP. Commit.

Done.

If it is not a built-in item you should be able to delete it using the delete function in CMP. Built-in items cannot be deleted.
