Get rid of planes

Every now and then there are planes I just can't get rid of. They are associated to something, but I can't find out what. Sometimes they come when importing ops. If I delete absolutely everything (geometry, ops, solids, viewsheets...) they still have green checkmark next to them.

How Do I Find Associations For A Specific Plane? Thanks.

This has been going on for a bit now. Even as PB5 starts, its still an issue.

We found some issues with importing (tools/geometry/ops) that were causing some of this.

This is one of the bypasses Deb Rossing suggested..

"When you open the second session and load the machine, DON’T do the stock setup. Import the operations first. THEN do the stock setup and see if you get the additional planes. Our money’s on no new planes created."

From the Planes Manager, select the zombie plane with a Right Click

choose Reports then Selected from the flyout

The resulting report will give you the association that prevents you from killing the zombie plane

That association is frequently a Viewport.

You can delete the Viewport or Save Viewsheet Bookmark with a different plane

Then you can kill the zombie plane
