Can't delete centerline in assembly

Kevin Gentsch Nov 20, 2014 2:35 PM

Solidworks novice here..

I have a small assembly (4 components + 4 screws) that I drew as an exploded view, and I drew centerlines along the path of the screws that hold the pieces together.

Now I want to remove one of the components and the 4 screws (which I did without issue), but I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the centerlines along what used to represent the path of the screws. I can't even select the centerlines. It's almost as if SW doesn't know they're there.

HELP!

Maybe I should just start over and redraw it without the centerlines, but how can it be this hard to remove them? Arrghh

Kevin,
The only way I know to delete the exploded sketch lines,
would be to create a new sketch line, hit ESC and then you will be able to delete the ones you do not want.

You have to edit the exploded line sketch under configs. when in there you can delete which ever lines you need to delete.
