    • Select the entity you want to remove.
    • Click-and-drag to draw a free-form line through the entities you want to remove.

Tip: If you remove an entity from the middle of a line, the collinear constraint is automatically applied to the remaining entities of the line. If you remove an entity from the middle of an arc, the concentric constraint is automatically applied to the remaining entities of the arc.
