A group is a set of graphical elements that you have selected and grouped together. The set behaves like any other select set. Grouping graphical elements allows you to work with them as a unit. For example, you can move, copy, or delete the entire pattern at once, as if it were a single element.
The following list describes some of the properties of groups:
-
A graphical element can be nested only in one group.
-
Grouped elements must reside in the same document and be on the same drawing sheet.
-
Any element in a drawing can be grouped.
-
Any combination of elements, such as lines, text, circles, and so forth, can be grouped.
You can use the Group command to nest two or more entire groups within a larger group, or you can nest individual elements and groups within a larger group.
After elements are grouped, you can use the Ungroup command to ungroup all of the elements at the same time.
Selecting Groups and Nested Groups
You can select a group by using Select Tool 
on the Draw toolbar and then selecting the group.
If you want to adjust the position of a nested element in a group, use the Smart Selection tool or QuickPick to select it and then move it within the group.
For details on how to use the Smart Selection tool, see Select a Graphical Element Using Smart Selection.
For details on how to use the Smart Selection tool, see QuickPick, see Select a Graphical Element with QuickPick.
You cannot take a nested element out of a group. If you need to do this, use the
Ungroup command and then group the required elements again.
Performing Tasks on Groups
After you select a group, you can use a command or ribbon option on all of its members. For example, when you move, copy, or delete a group, all of its members are moved, copied, or deleted.
When you copy an entire group, all of its members are copied, including nested groups. The software creates a new group that contains all of the members of the original group.
You can associate a group with a plant item. For details, see Associate a Plant Item with a Group or a Nested Element in a Group.
