I need to have a little 'rubber' to rub out small selected sections of my
drawing. There is a very useful one in 'Microsoft Draw' is there something
here that I have not seen. My draw tools are quite limited without it.
Ypurs Sincerely,
Gerald Vaughan

With the understanding that visio is object/shape based and not bitmap
based, have you considered just selecting what you want to get rid of (drag
the selection box around it) and pressing delete?

Adding to Al's suggestion, you might be able to simulate 'rubbing out' by
using ink with a fattish white line (see View / Toolbars / Ink)...

Best regards

I would stick to highlighting items. This can also be down by using "shift"
and clicking on each objects.
