Deleting hotspots

Tom Krowka

Am creating a new template. Deleted a small project from a v15 pln and am using that for the template so I can have all my layers, view sets, layer combos, everything in place.

I have discovered several hotspots on the empty workspace. They can be selected, they are on the Archicad layer, and they appear to be locked. However, all layers are unlocked and on. They are not grouped. They will not be deleted for some reason. I can copy and paste them, and then delete the copies, but can't do anything else to them like drag or delete.

Is there some trick to this...or what.

Thanks.

Did they get there as part of an xref? Check your xref manager?

No xrefs and no modules.

Eduardo:

Unlock all from the pull down menu worked. I wonder why the "unlock layer" which I selected from the Quick layer menu would not unlock the hotspots. In any case, thanks.

"Unlock Layer" and "Unlock Command" are different you can have an object on an unlocked layer that is locked.
