Groups are saved from session to session, but are not transferable between drawings like Blocks are.

NOTE: ‘Un-named’ groups should really be called automatically named groups. Unlike Blocks, when you copy a group a new, ‘un-named’ set of grouped elements is created that have no link to the original group. Unlike Blocks you can easily edit an element that is part of a Group. Unlike Blocks it is possible to add or remove geometry from a group as you are working. Unlike polylines, groups can contain many different elements, these elements can have different properties and can be on different layers. A large group significantly degrades AutoCAD’s performance. TIP: Avoid creating large groups containing hundreds or thousands of objects. The objects in your drawing can be members of more than one group, and groups themselves can be nested in other groups. Groups have unique names, therefore groups can be selected by name. Groups are easy to create: Start the GROUP command, enter the name for a new group, select ‘NEW’, and select the objects that belong to the new group.Īll this grouped geometry is selected with a single pick
