Grouping

Grouping lines makes it easy to move sections of your drawing

A group of lines is a set of lines which become selected when one line is selected. You can group any combination of lines. For example you might want to group together a set of lines that create a panel hole for an electrical D connector. The CAD software will automatically group connected lines prior to checking the 3D view.

To group lines:
  1. Select all the lines to be included in the group. (To quickly select a set of connected lines hold the SHIFT key and click on one of the lines.)
  2. Choose Line | Group.
