4- How to clear the name of many objects on the floor plan in one operation.

For our example we have created a small table using simple objects of Furniture type.

t.gif (141 bytes) tr.gif (162 bytes)
l.gif (142 bytes)
r.gif (145 bytes)
bl.gif (163 bytes) b.gif (145 bytes) br.gif (165 bytes)

Unfortunately we have forgotten to erase the default FURNITURE name in the Adjusting Adding Preferences window, before we have put each object on the floor plan.  So now the name FURNITURE is displayed on each object.   Of course we can select each object separately and clear its name but it exists a faster way.

t.gif (141 bytes) tr.gif (162 bytes)
l.gif (142 bytes)
r.gif (145 bytes)
bl.gif (163 bytes) b.gif (145 bytes) br.gif (165 bytes)

Be sure to select only the objects that we want their name to be cleared.  (For that, use the appropriated selection commands found in the Edition Tools section.)

t.gif (141 bytes) tr.gif (162 bytes)
l.gif (142 bytes)
r.gif (145 bytes)
bl.gif (163 bytes) b.gif (145 bytes) br.gif (165 bytes)

After selecting the objects, click the Operations on Selected Objects button in the Edition Tools section.

t.gif (141 bytes) tr.gif (162 bytes)
l.gif (142 bytes)
r.gif (145 bytes)
bl.gif (163 bytes) b.gif (145 bytes) br.gif (165 bytes)

In the Operation on 5 Selected Objects window, click the Objects Specifications button.
(Number of object may be different in your case.)

t.gif (141 bytes) tr.gif (162 bytes)
l.gif (142 bytes)
r.gif (145 bytes)
bl.gif (163 bytes) b.gif (145 bytes) br.gif (165 bytes)

In the Specifications for 5 Selected Objects window, hold down simultaneously the Left Shift key + Left Control key + Left Alternate key and click the OK button.  Release the keys after the click.
(Number of object may be different in your case.)

t.gif (141 bytes) tr.gif (162 bytes)
l.gif (142 bytes)
r.gif (145 bytes)
bl.gif (163 bytes) b.gif (145 bytes) br.gif (165 bytes)

A warning window appears asking you to confirm the operation.  Click the OK button.
(Number of object may be different in your case.)

t.gif (141 bytes) tr.gif (162 bytes)
l.gif (142 bytes)
r.gif (145 bytes)
bl.gif (163 bytes) b.gif (145 bytes) br.gif (165 bytes)

As you see the names of all the selected objects have been cleared.

t.gif (141 bytes) tr.gif (162 bytes)
l.gif (142 bytes)
r.gif (145 bytes)
bl.gif (163 bytes) b.gif (145 bytes) br.gif (165 bytes)
