Quick Reference
GROUP
Creates and manages saved sets of objects called groups.
PICKSTYLE
Controls the use of group selection and associative hatch selection.
Edit Groups
You can modify groups in a number of ways, including changing their
membership, modifying their properties, revising the names and descriptions
of groups, and removing them from the drawing.
Edit Objects as a Group
When group selection is turned on, you can move, copy, rotate, and modify
groups just as you can modify individual objects. If you need to edit objects
within a group, turn off group selection or use grips to edit individual objects.
For more information, see
Select Objects in Groups on page 542.
Change Group Components, Name, or Description
With the Group Manager, you can specify objects to be added to or removed
from a group at any time. You can also revise a group's name or description.
If deleting an object or removing it from a group leaves the group empty, the
group remains defined but without any members.
NOTE Exploding an object such as a block instance or hatch that belongs to a
group does not automatically add the resulting components to any group.
Remove Groups
You can delete a group definition by using the Ungroup options on the menu
or toolbar in the Group Manager.
As a result, the group is disbanded but the members are not changed in any
other way.
To remove a group
1 Select the group you want to remove.
2 Click Tools menu Ungroup.
