1 Returning Placed Functions

The Return mode allows the removal of a component for a placed function in the
schematic while leaving the data contained in the then unplaced function in the
database. Regardless of the representation type, returning a function always creates
an unplaced function (without representation type).

The following placement types can be returned:

2. Select the menu item Edit > Delete placement.

The selected functions that can be returned are converted into unplaced functions
(and deleted from the page).

Notes:
If a single object is selected that cannot be returned, then the menu item is
grayed-out.

If multiple objects are selected that cannot be returned, then the menu item is
also grayed-out.

Otherwise, If multiple objects are selected then only the returnable functions are
considered and all other functions in the selection remain unchanged.
