Erase Items

In TOTAL for Mobile, you can easily erase a small segment of a line, symbol, or label using the built‑in eraser tool. The eraser tools works like digital "white out" allowing you to eliminate a small segment of a line in order to place a door in the white space, for example. To use TOTAL for Mobile's eraser:

  1. In a sketch, tap the Symbols icon ( ) on the upper right. If you're using an iPhone or a similar device with a smaller screen, press the fn key on your sketch keyboard, and then tap the Sym key.

  2. Select the Other category and tap to select the Eraser symbol.

    • To rotate the eraser, tap and drag the green circle above it.

    • To delete the eraser, select it and press Delete on your keyboard

    • To move the eraser, tap and drag it to the desired location.

    • To resize the eraser, select any one of the green circles — called "handles" — surrounding the image and drag the "handle" to shrink or enlarge the symbol.
