Cosmographer: select all icons based on currently selected icon?

ubai

Hello,

I was trying to use Cosmo to randomly generate a simple star map, and I used placeholder icons to indicate empty hexes. Now that I am done, is there an easy way to select all those placeholders and delete them?

Thanks!

What are your placeholders? Are they symbols, or polygons?

A particular symbol can be deleted using the Symbol Manager in the Symbols menu. Open the manager, pick the symbol you want to delete, and hit the delete button. That will remove all instances of the symbol from your map.

If your placeholders are polygons and are all on a unique sheet or layer you can hide all other sheets or layers and delete them en masse by box selecting with the delete tool.

If your placeholders aren't on a separate sheet or layer, you might have to use one of the many select options available when you pick delete and then right click in the map area.

Thanks! I used a symbol, so I'll give the symbol manager a try.
