Group Function Not working

[Anonymous]

ACLT2000 on a Windows XP machine.

In the last day, one of our users has lost his ability to Group. Whether he
selects objects and then pulls down "Group" from the tools menu or vice
versa, the objects do not group. The command line text doesn't give any
errors or other indication of what is happening.

Any leads appreciated....

PICKSTYLE variable, explore it in HELP.

Are you sure grouping is turned on?

ctrl+shift+A turns the group function on/off

Thank you, The Ctrl-Shift-A fixed my issue with grouping.

I happened to randomly past this answer with the same problem, thanks for this. Have a lovely week!

I am having a similar problem, but the 'group' function does not exist on my mouse.

I have tried ctrl+shift+A but this does nothing.

How do l change my settings to put 'group' back onto my mouse command?

Which LT version?
Do you have the RIBBON on or off?
Did you look up GROUP command in HELP to see how it works and where to find it?

CTRL+SHIFT+A toggles PICKSTYLE variable on/off, it has nothing to do with starting any group command or function. Explore PICKSTYLE in HELP, you want it to stay on if you want to use groups.

thank you. I also had this same problem. Grouping is a time saver for me and losing it was causing great frustration. Thanks for posting the solution. Ctrl- Shift -A!

In Plant 3D the only way I can get it to work is to key in -group then name it then give it a description then it will finally create the group.

Pickstyle setting did nothing and yes my group was turned on.

Command: -GROUP

Command: Enter a group option
[?/Order/Add/Remove/Explode/REName/Selectable/Create] <Create>: C

Enter a group name or [?]: hose

Enter a group description: reel

Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 20 found

Type in CONFIG this opens the Configuration dialogue box. Pick the Selection tab. Under Selection Modes, check the Object Grouping box. Pick Apply.

Greetings.

Do you mean this? PICKSTYLE command, already discussed

[davidgoodpe]

This is for the Group command.

[pendean]

@davidgoodpe indeed it is, the topic of this discussion is GROUP: are you unfamiliar with what PICKSTYLE variable affects by chance? From HELP
