The Remove Selection command removes the selected objects from the diagram. When dealing with elements, this breaks the minimum set of relationships necessary to remove the selection from the diagram but maintains all elements as part of the system definition. When dealing with diagram decorations such as notes and shapes, the decoration is simply deleted from the database.

Remove Selection versus Delete Selection Users are sometimes confused as to whether they should remove a selection or delete a selection. If you simply want to remove an element from the diagram (a node or line on a diagram) but maintain it in your project as part of the system definition, use the Remove Selection command. If you want to completely delete the element from the database, use the Delete Selection command.
Remember that CORE's underlying model is integrated, and from this integrated model, CORE generates a rich interconnected system definition. Function ABC on one diagram is the same as Function ABC on another diagram. If you delete Function ABC, it is deleted from both diagrams, all relationships, and from the database. |

What permissions are required to remove a selection? Removing diagram decoration requires no special permissions. Removing an element deletes the relationship between two elements. To delete a target, you must have read permission to both elements and write permission to at least one of the elements. |
