stock model won't delete

[Jaz]

I have a good part file and did a "save as" to simplify programming some of it's fixtures. Then I deleted all the operations including a stock model operation. BUT the stock model is still there, blanked. How do I get rid of it?

go to your stock set up,   bottom left display/options and uncheck left stock.   That might get it.

MAKE ALL LEVELS VISIBLE THEN SCREEN UN BLANK ALL ENTITY, MIGHT WORK

Stock setup in properties in the operation manager? I have no such option.

Deleting everything does not work.

RAM saver does not work.

Save and re-open file does not work.

When you say blanked - do you mean that if you press Screen/Un-blank Entity, then the stock model appears in the temporary display?  If you don't mean that, I do not understand what you mean by blanked, sorry.

 

But you could check into the Operations manager, Stock Setup and check to see if the stock shape option is set to File.

 

Or you could try pressing the "stick of dynamite" button in the ops manager to see if that gets rid of it.

if you know what level it's on, right click that level and select delete

If you press Screen/Un-blank Entity, then the stock model appears in the temporary display.

Like all stock models, it is not on a level, they show as blanked whenever you toggle display off in the operations manager.

[gcode]

Like all stock models, it is not on a level

 

try an experiment

open a new file with an empty Level Manager

create a stock model from an STL file

look at your Level Manager.. you will have 1 entity on whichever Level was active when you created the Stock Model

now right click that Level and hit Delete

You will get an associativity yell, click yes.. the Level is empty and the stock model goes dirty

[Jaz]

If I delete everything in the file, all levels show empty and no operations are left.

Stock model is still there, blanked.

If I delete everything in the file, all levels show empty and no operations are left.

Stock model is still there, blanked.

seen this before, in-house hadn't seen it before at the time so a solution was not found

and starting a new file would have been the only way to rid of it

 

the stock model didn't affect my file so I left it and carried on.

Thank you, Rickster.

Yep. I am way past it now, but it bugs me.

If I really cared I guess I would make a new file.

I have had this in the past. My remedy was to turn on just that level, unblank, ALL, All enities, hit the green button. nothing would appear on the screen. I then hit delete,ALL, All enities, hit the green button. The entity count would then go to zero. But I have to save the file and restart MC to get the rest of the entities to show up.
