The following pre-packaged resources, derived from this base command, are available:
Applied Parameters: Mode=NavigateNext
This command is used to delete one or more selected routing objects on the current document. These can be component-free tracks, arcs, vias, and pads. All routing objects connected to those deleted will be automatically selected, ready for subsequent deletion.
This command is accessed from the PCB Editor by using the Ctrl+Delete keyboard shortcut.
First, select the routing object(s) to be deleted within the design workspace.
After launching the command, the selected routing objects are deleted and the contiguous routing objects either side of each of those objects is selected. The view will change accordingly so that the selected objects for potential deletion are always in view.
By using the command repeatedly, you are able to incrementally unwind the routed path in both directions.
Applied Parameters: Mode=ClearForRoutingUnwind
This command is used to delete a single, selected end-of-route object. This can be a component-free track, arc, via, or pad. The singular routing object connected to the deleted object will be automatically selected, ready for subsequent deletion.
This command is accessed from the PCB Editor by using the Backspace keyboard shortcut.
First, select the end-of-route object to be deleted within the design workspace.
After launching the command, the selected routing object is deleted and the contiguous routing object connected to that object is selected. The view will change accordingly so that the selected object for potential deletion is always in view.
By using the command repeatedly, you are able to incrementally unwind the routed path in much the same way as using the Backspace shortcut while interactively routing.
The features available depend on your level of Altium Designer Software Subscription.
