The Group tool replaces the traditional Object Grouping dialog box with a simple prompt to select
objects. You have the option of providing a group name and description. The Ungroup tool ungroups the
objects. You can use the Edit Group tool to add and remove objects or to rename the group. These tools
are also available from the right-click menu when a group is selected.
A Group Selection toggle allows you to control whether objects are selected individually or as a group.
Expanding the Group panel provides access to additional Group tools. The Group Bound Box controls
how groups are displayed. When it’s enabled, AutoCAD displays a single grip and a bounding box
around the group. The Named Groups tool displays the classic Object Grouping dialog box.
The Purge tool has been updated to support the purging of groups that contain no objects.
Implied Selection
Pick variables offer more flexibility and control when selecting objects. When you pick the first point of
an implied window, you now have the ability to use a Wpolygon, Cpolygon, and Fence in addition to the
traditional window selection method. And you no longer have to choose between picking two points or
picking and dragging to determine the selection window. The PICKDRAG system variable includes a
new option (PICKDRAG=2) that combines both of these methods. The PICKAUTO system variable
includes a new option (PICKAUTO=2) that allows you to start a window or crossing selection even when
picking on an object. This minimizes the need for you to find a ―clean‖ spot for picking.
