Here are some additional considerations when marking items for deletion:

Paired Menu Items: Paired menu items occupying a single line, such as

Copy/Paste

, and

Previous/Next

, should be deleted as a pair. Otherwise

menu items may overlap when displayed.

Range of Effect: If an item which is marked for deletion is part of a
menu which appears in more than one place, it is deleted from each menu
where it normally appears. For example, if you delete a color selection
item from the

Color Selection

menu for a string, the item is deleted from

any occurrence of the

Color Selection

menu – including

Color

Selection

for viewport border and background, and for

Graph

variables.

Other examples of menus which appear in more than one place include
the

Range

/

Output

menu, and the

Threshold

/

Filter

menu.

Menu Justification: When menu items are deleted from a menu, the
remaining items, when displayed, will be “justified,” or repositioned,
downward and to the left, as necessary, so that these remaining menu
items are contiguous.

Deletable Items: Almost any item can be deleted, including items such as
slide bar cursors (which appear when

Threshold / Filter

is selected, for

example), vernier arrows (used within the

Pick & Place

function), and

menu titles.

Non-Deletable Items: Certain menu and screen items can never be
deleted, because of the nature of their function. These items include:

The help icon and menu-removal icon (the two icons in the upper right
corner of the monitor).

The handles which appear on tools when

Pick & Place

is activated.

The slide bar (which appears when

Threshold / Filter

is selected, for

example). However, the slide bar cursors can be deleted.

The

Exit

box on the

Main

menu.

The

Runtime

box on the

Exit

menu.

The

Goto Runmode

box on the

Runtime

menu.

The keyboard and calculator pad, and their keys.

Picking an item that cannot be deleted displays this message:
