Removing attachment points and lines

You can remove attachment points and lines from your model. The removed attachment points or lines appear in the Model Tree as a Remove Attachments feature in the Features container under the part or assembly, depending on the module in which the attachment points or lines were created. You can suppress or delete the Remove Attachments feature to restore the removed attachment points or lines. Attachment points created in the Part module or Property module can be removed only from these two modules; attachment points and lines created in the Assembly module or Interaction module can be removed only from these two modules.
