Comp/Assembly> Delete Comp/Assembly). You can list the entities that make up a particular com-
ponent with the CMLIST command (Utility Menu> Select> Comp/Assembly> List Comp/Assembly).
You can use CMLIST to generat e expanded, detailed listings of the entities that make up specific
components by using it along with the CMSEL command.
The CMSEL command also allows you to use components to narrow your selection or increase your
selection criteria. Issuing CMSEL,ALL will select all defined components in addition to any items you
already have selected.
9.3.5. Modifying Components or Assemblies
You can modify the specification of a component with the CMMOD command.
If an entity is modified (e.g., via the KMODIF command), that entity may be deleted and then redefined.
The deletion may cause the entity to be removed from the component. If all of the entities are removed
from the component, the component will also be deleted.
