This command erases Carlson points inserts from the drawing. The
points to erase can either be selected from the screen or specified
by point number, point number range or by point group. Erasing a
Carlson point will erase the three entities that make up a Carlson
point: the point symbol, point attributes, and point node. There is
an option to skip erasing the point symbol in case you want to
leave the symbols in the drawing. The points may optionally be
erased from the coordinate file. As long as the points are not
deleted from the coordinate file, they can be redrawn with
Draw-Locate Points or Field-to-Finish.
When the program detects linework associated with the points, there is a prompt for whether to erase this linework too. For example, when Field-to-Finish is used to draw both points and linework, then this linework can be erased along with the points.
