Any way to erase drawing?

[Andee Rubin]

I love being able to draw on graphs to point out specific graph features.  Is there any way to erase parts of what I’ve drawn other than “undo” (which works fine if what you want to erase is that last thing you’ve drawn…)?

Hi Andee,

Good question! I haven’t spent much time with the draw tool, so I had to create one to find out the answer. And the answer is “yes!”

Use the arrow tool to click on things you’ve drawn and they get selected as objects. (You can apparently even marquee select.) Once selected, press the delete key and they’re gone!

Ah!  Thanks!  I couldn’t figure out how to select things to delete – but this is very helpful.
