Working with the Object Grouping Dialog Box
Each group has a unique name, and you can also attach a brief description of the group in the Object
Grouping dialog box. When you copy a group, AutoCAD assigns an arbitrary name to the newly
created group. Copies of groups are considered unnamed, but you can still list them in the Object
Grouping dialog box by clicking the Include Unnamed check box. You can click the Rename button
in the Object Grouping dialog box to name unnamed groups appropriately.
Objects in a group aren’t bound solely to that group. One object can be a member of several
groups, and you can have nested groups.
NOTE AutoCAD LT users have a different set of options. See the “Working with the LT Group
Manager” section.
Table 4.2 gives a rundown of the options available in the Object Grouping dialog box:
TIP If a group is selected, you can remove individual items from the selection with a Shift+click.
In this way, you can isolate objects within a group for editing or removal without having to temporarily
turn off groups.
