Is there a magic trick to get the Eraser tool to work? It has never worked for me, no matter how many times I read the Help instructions. I have some stubborn lines in a complex design that I can't seem to remove that way.

I also can't get the little circles to appear on the ends of my line segments so that I could right-click and get rid of them that way.

I can select the area but the delete key doesn't remove them.
Any help will be appreciated.

PS to Diane--Are you really managing and answering all the questions on the Forum by yourself--and as a volunteer? Wow! Praise and thanks, gratitude and kudos are coming your way!

Becky,

One way to be able to catch the circles on backstitch lines is to zoom in! When you zoom, it's a bit more distinct where they are. Deleting won't work on backstitches unless BOTH ends of line are within the borders of your defined selected area. Only one end - won't work.

PS - Thanks, Becky. Yes, I'm a volunteer. I've been working with PCStitch since version 7 back in 2004. You work with any software long enough, you learn how it works. Also, I do admit - I load the software to verify my answers quite a few times - including this one. I currently have 7, 9 and 10 installed and, if needed, I could put in 8. I see no reason for below 7. That's at least 8 years back now! If I can't answer it - I'll either leave it for someone else (usually not software related) or send them to Mark for an answer. When in doubt - pass the buck!

Diane
