More about the Delete command

When deleting new, modified or pointed documents, a warning message gives you a list of unsaved documents that will be removed and prompts you to:

• click Yes if you want to edit these modified documents. This opens in a new window each document listed in the warning message
• click No if you do not want to keep the modifications
• click Cancel to cancel the delete operation and restore the previous state.

"Pointed documents" implies directly pointed documents as well as documents indirectly pointed by a document about to be deleted. For instance, when deleting a sub-product, all the modified CATPart documents included in this sub-product will be listed in the warning.

Nevertheless, note that documents may not be listed in the warning message. This is the case when a document is:

• edited in another editor. For instance, if you open a CATPart document using the Open in New Window contextual command then delete one of its instances, you will not be asked to edit the document
• pointed by another document edited in another editor.
