Groups

Root Groups

In Designer, each Root Group becomes a Page, but Auxiliary Groups don’t. They are Groups with the Hide in Designer option, and are handy for:

  • comments, or
  • intermediate computations (discussed later in Formulas)

Tip Auxiliary Groups can be hidden in the Drafter Workspace too, ViewHidable Groups.

Nested Groups

Nested Groups are for sub-sections.

Group and Ungroup

Click Group to create a Nested Group with the selected Elements. Conversely, Ungroup moves the Elements to the parent Group.

Option 1: Drop a Group Template into the board, or into another Group.

Option 2: Click a Group Template. If a Group is selected, it creates a nested one.

Option 3: Ctrl K (works like Option 2).

These modifiers work for the three options.

  • Alt for an Empty Group
  • Shift for a Formula Group
