Unnamed groups are not listed in the Object Grouping dialog box unless you
select Include Unnamed.
Named groups are not maintained when you use a drawing as an external
reference or insert it as a block. However, you can bind and then explode the
external reference or explode the block to make the group available as an
unnamed group.
NOTE Avoid creating large groups containing hundreds or thousands of objects.
A large group significantly degrades the performance of this program.

2 Click Home tab ➤ Groups panel ➤ Group.
The selected objects are grouped together into an unnamed group, which
