[v8i vba] Delete multiple elements

Hi Torben,

see this discussion: A workaround is to create named group, add all elements to this group and to use the named group to select and delete elements.

With regards,

Thanks.

Please note that I have not tested the named-group solution, but it sounds like a faster way of deleting elements.

I still wish we had the missing bit in this puzzle:

AddElement	RemoveElement
AddElements	?

Hi Troben,

I guess your puzzle would work if the operations will be symmetric. But they are not: To add element(s) is far simplier than to remove element. The removal can trigger other removals if some dependencies exist or at least a requirement to modify design file at more places. Also VBA doesn't allow handle exceptions efficiently, so what should happen if you ask to remove huge amount elements and some from them will be from a reference? It leads to a quite complex implementation with no simple code, so maybe it's the reason why this functionality is not available in VBA API.

BTW I think it's not available in MDL API neither.

Regards,

Jan
