How to erase something on Hex mode (or in General - Layers?)

Golgorosh

Hello
I'm really sorry but i do have A LOT of difficulties erasing something. I got the technique (click Erase, Select, Do it) but i think i have trouble understanding 'where' is what i seek to erase.

Here, i want to erase the lake i've drawn. The only thing i've managed to do was erasing all the Grid or erasing so the background could be seen.
I think i'm missing something when i want to select things to be erased.
Is it related to the Layer ? The sheet ?

I know this question has popped up a lot but every single time i want to tdo the Erase - Select - Right Click - Do It, i never seem to do it properly.
Thanks (and sorry for my lousy English as i'm non native speaker)

Logically, you should be able to select the lake by clicking on its edge.

Try to perform a Info->List command on the lake to check the Layer AND if you can select it that way (the LIST command always works on entities whether they are select-able for Erase or not).
If it works and you get the Layer name, click on the layer indicator (white box top right starting by L:) check if the rightmost box next to the layer's name doesn't show an "F" meaning the layer is frozen. If so, click on this F to thaw the layer.

Thank you for your help Joachim and sorry for the late answer. It does work and it was related as i expected in the Sheet Show All / Hode All. I'm still a bit confused about how things works to be honest.

Now, another : I have created a map based on Par Lindstrom design in Annual 6. The maps is done and complete.
Then, i want to save this map in another file but using Hexagons. Hence, i just have to 'overlap' with hexagon (more or less).
However i'm stuck with the border.
I dont know how i did manage this but in green i've been able to overlaps the border (green), then i've done something... and now i cant anymore (red).
And i've been trying to do it again, i just cant.
Can someone enlighten me?
Many Thanks

And now, after managing to erase all border (on purpose ), i have clean the borders of the hewes... want to put the grid back...and bim : The Box is too small.
So i'm out of clue

I dont want to appear negative here, but the learning curve is extremely complex. I really do think it is a great tool, but the interface is definitely something to improve.
Waiting for the help of someone. thank you.
