Ribbon: Construction - Library objects >Group objects.

Toolbar: Group objects ( "Library objects").

Command line: SPGROUPOBJECTS.

Constraints describing the interaction of two or more objects, It is advisable to store these in the objects database in a related group. Group nanoCAD Construction 25 has the following features:

• Group is stored in the object database, has a pattern preview before pasting.
• Components of the group in addition to objects nanoCAD Construction 25 can be primitives and blocks in nanoCAD.
• Group may be transferred as part of the database file to other users.
• Group may have additional dependencies with other groups and objects.
• Components of the group remain together parametric dependence.
• Components in the group can be specified both individually and in groups.

Thus, the group is a powerful way of organizing and structuring graphics data in a separate local file drawing document.

Create a Group

Button Group objects

Gather and create database objects in the design position in the drawing. On the toolbar, Library objects,click Group objects.

Select the required objects in the drawing AutoCAD specify the origin of the group.

In the dialog box New group on the left side is a list of objects in the group. Name objects in the list is taken from the string value for the specifications set in the properties of objects.

Button Highlight group objects highlights and centers on the screen objects in the group.

Button Set parameter table. Opens the editor table settings. Table of parameters used to select the group attribute values from a predefined list of values.

Button Show form editor. Opens Form Editor to create a special dialog box.

Buttonsave changes to database. Saves the base group Construction Site 25.

In the right part of the window picture preview and a list of attributes for the group.

Editing attributes produced in the cells of the table.

Adding attributes produced from the parameter list of objects in the group.

Expand the selected entry in the list (with the "+" next to the name of the object) and double click on the parameter, add an attribute in the table.

You can install a bidirectional relationship between the group and attribute parameter object that is associated with this attribute. The list of attributes in the column Attribute Properties , click the left mouse button on the icon . Depending on the mode change bidirectional, it will indicate the icon . Thus, when the value of the attribute group, and the parameter of the object is changed.

Save the group of objects in the database by pressing the buttonsave changes to database. Choose a location and name for the group (the default group name matches the specified value attribute Group Name). Click OK.

Group created and saved to the database. Now you can insert multiple grouped objects in a drawing, resizing and positioning of objects, while preserving established parametric and geometric constraints.

Important!

Group objects only retains information about dependencies between objects and attributes set. For insertion to be carried out correctly, you must have a database of all the objects in this group.
