Removing a Slot
From a Class

You can remove a slot from a class without deleting it from the knowledge
base. To do this:
- In the Class Relationship pane, select the class
which has the slot you want to remove. The slots for the class will be
displayed in the Template Slots pane. Note that the slot must be a direct slot for the class; you may not remove an inherited
slot.
- Highlight the slot you wish to remove in the Template Slots pane.
- Click the Remove
Template Slot
button. The slot no longer appears among the slots for the class. The
slot is also removed from any subclasses of the class.
To remove several slots at once:
- In the Class Relationship pane, select the class
which has the slot you want to remove.
- Highlight the slots you wish to remove in the Template Slots pane.
To highlight multiple slots, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking each
slot. To highlight a range of slots, click the first slot, then hold down
the Shift key and click the last slot in the range.
- Click the Remove
Template Slot
button. The slots no longer appear among the slots for the class. The
slots are also removed from any subclasses of the class.
Removing a slot cannot be undone. However, if you close Protégé-2000 without saving changes, you will revert
to the last saved version. If you have made extensive changes to your project during the current session, you may wish to save before deleting slots. To do
this, select Save from the Project menu.
You can also delete a slot from the entire knowledge base using the
Slots tab.
See Deleting a Slot for more information.
