Extended Definition:

1. You must enter the name of the DATA_ELEMENT you wish to delete by either picking it from the screen or specifying the full name.
2. Since data_element do not have a geometric position, Adams View displays data_element icons at or near the model origin. If the data_element icon is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the data_element icon is displayed.
You must separate multiple data_element names by commas.

Tips:

1. You may reverse this deletion at a later time with an UNDO command.
2. If the data_element is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
3. You need not separate multiple data_element picks by commas.
