Deleting multiple vertices at once?

Question

I have a polygon feature class that I've converted to representations so that I can delete some vertices. I'm doing this to simply some of the shapes manually, but I'd like to speed this up by selecting a group of vertices with the Representations lasso tool and then deleting them at once rather then using the time-consuming point-and-click Delete Vertex tool.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Apparently this is already implemented in ArcMap 10 (from the ArcGIS link). What software and version are you using?

Answer 2

If you are using a earlier version pre ArcGIS 10 you could use the following tools:

Vertex Tool

Delete Multiple Vertex by drawing a polygon

Answer 3

Click the Delete Vertex tool on the Edit Vertices toolbar and drag a box around the vertices to delete. You can also hold down D and drag a box, or press BACKSPACE, to delete selected vertices.
