Clear

This command removes from the sketch any selected object, as well as any objects which depend on it. The removed objects are not placed on the clipboard.

Pressing the Delete or Backspace key performs the same action as choosing Clear from the Edit menu.

Removing objects from a sketch using Cut or Clear is very different from hiding them using the Hide command. The Hide command hides objects from view, but they still exist as part of the sketch. Hidden objects can later be shown, and they continue to affect the behavior of objects that depend on them. Use Hide if you want to remove objects from view while maintaining their geometric role in your document; use Clear, Cut, or Undo if you want to remove them permanently from your construction.
