Remove
The remove method is for removing (deleting) tagged artwork from the document.
If you don't need the artwork in the document and are exporting vector formats, it makes more sense to remove the artwork than to hide it.
If you want to hide the object, set its visible property to false in either the appearance or attributes methods.
To prevent the method being applied to a row, inside the method, leave the tagSearch value blank or set it to "" or use either the generic * property and set the cell value to false or the generic skip property and set the cell value to true.
Example Spreadsheet
| * | cat | ||
| remove | skip | comment | |
| tagSearch | * | * | |
| dog | All artwork tagged dog or cat will be removed | ||
| dog | false | Only the dog will be removed | |
| dog | true | Only the cat will be removed | |
| "" | Only the cat will be removed, this would work even if a default dog tag was provided in the header's tagSearch property cell |
