Have You Tried: AutoCAD Groups

Learning
Have You Tried...

Have you ever needed to perform multiple operations on the same objects or wanted to create a relationship between several objects without creating a block? Check out the AutoCAD Group feature.

AutoCAD Groups

The Group feature allows you to quickly create temporary object associations. When objects are grouped together, selecting one object in the group results in all objects being selected but each object can still be modified individually unlike a standard block.

Have You Tried: AutoCAD Groups

You can learn how to create and work with groups by following the step-by-step examples in the Have You Tried: Groups topic.
