GROUP & ungroup

Stephen Marcotte

I have LISP that creates a simple table and adds all of the table entitities (line & text) to a group. The problem is ungrouping it if I want.  My boss goes right for the explode command, but that does not work.  The only way I know of is to ungroup it through the group dialog.

 

Are there plans to make the explode command ungroup groups?

Has anyone created a new explode command that will check for groups?

 

Thank You

Steve

Hi Mr. Marcotte  : )

 

I use the heck out of groups and have been meaning to put something together for a while now to prevent the exploding of groups, I think some sort of reactor might do the trick. Also  Maybe setting a key to toggle the pickset variable and a little education might help. I will try to code something up in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the comment regarding the pickset setting (PICKSTYLE variable)... i really never looked into this topic.  In my particular situation going with a block instead of a group is the best bet for me... All i'm really trying to accomplish is "making it difficult to screw up a table when you move it".  If the user wants to edit it then they can just explode it.

Thanks
