Component is empty?

HI All, what is the best way to know if the component is empty. I do not want to delete if there is anything. Some time the nodes, elements are mask and there is a change that you might accidently delete them.

 

Thanks

Ray

    Hello,

     

    You can also try by right click on the component and click on isolate.

     

    Thankyou

    F2-delete and preview empty sounds like a good option but it says 4 entities are empty. But i have over 200 components but which 4 entities? its really hard.

    thanks

    Hello Ray

     

    You could use the model browser to achieve this.

    Just go to model browser 

     

    Once you are in the browser right click on the 'Component'folder-> in the context menu select 'empty'. 

     

    You will get a dialog which shows you all the empty components in your model. Just select them and hit delete.
