Deleting and Erasing Objects You can delete or erase annotations in several ways. • Any freehand object created with the Pen tool button or a Pen Tray stylus can be erased with either the Pen Tray eraser or with the Delete or Clear Page commands. The “circle and tap” erasing method (see page 54) allows you to erase entire areas of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard that you define by drawing a circle with an edge of the round eraser. • A text or geometric object (such as a rectangle, line or ellipse) can only be deleted with the Delete or Clear Page commands or by pressing the Delete button (Windows and Mac OS X operating systems only). The Pen Tray eraser will not erase these objects. • You can configure one of the Pen Tray buttons to function as a Clear Page button, deleting all annotations from the page at once. • You can also delete the last object created or undo the last action performed on the current page with either the Undo command in the Edit menu or the Undo toolbar button. See Undoing Your Mistakes on page 55. To erase freehand annotations with the Pen Tray eraser: 1 Pick up the eraser from the Pen Tray. The cursor will immediately change to an eraser icon. 2 Press on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard with the physical eraser, your finger or with any other object. The electronic ink will disappear wherever you make contact with the board. NOTE: This method of erasing only works with annotations created with the Pen Tray styluses or the Pen tool button. You cannot erase geometric objects or text objects with the Pen Tray eraser. To use the “circle and tap” erasing method: NOTE: This method of erasing only works with freehand objects. You can’t use the Pen Tray eraser to erase geometric objects or text boxes. 1 Pick up the eraser from the Pen Tray. Once you’ve removed the eraser from its Pen Tray slot, any subsequent contact with the board has the effect of erasing annotations. Therefore, while holding the eraser in one hand, you can use a finger of the other hand to complete the erasure. 2 Encircle any area of the board you want erased with an edge of the round Pen Tray eraser. 54 SMART Board User’s Guide

In fact, you can reverse many previous actions by repeatedly selecting Undo. Once you’ve undone a previously issued command or object, you can also change your mind again and reinstate (redo) the original object. The Undo command in the Edit menu changes to show the most recent command or action affected. Undo applies to single annotations, multiple selected annotations and annotation groups. To Undo the last object created or command issued: Select Undo from the Edit menu. or Press the Undo toolbar button. The effect of the immediately previous command will be revoked. You can continue selecting Undo to rescind any number of previously issued commands for the current page.
