add object to group

jdfnnl — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 23:36:11 GMT

I am using Acad 2015 which does not have a dialog box for the 'group' command. Is there a way to add / remove objects from a group with this version? I am trying to use groups to build a complex selection incrementally. Or is there another way of saving selections that might be recommended?

Is there a command for the dialog, because 'group' is command line only with no add / remove options.

Hi,

>> because 'group' is command line only with no add / remove options.

To Add or Remove objects From a Group

Type GROUP in the command line and press Enter.
In the drawing area, select a group.
At the prompt, do one of the following:
- enter a to add objects
- enter r to remove objects
Select objects to add to, or remove from, the group.

@jdfnnl CTRL+A to toggle grouping off, then erase what you do not want. CTRL+A to turn grouping back on. Now your GROUP is less that unwanted item(s).

To add an item(s) to a GROUP, just group them with the group again much like you always GROUP objects together all day long. So how do you do that now?

May I ask if you're using LISP for grouping yet (Assuming your 2015 is not the LT version)? Lots out there, see this discussion to get started https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/regroup-a-group-you-have-ungrouped-in-autolisp/td-p/8888337
and https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic/26473-group-command-routine/

Life's too short to do these the long way in AutoCAD.
