Create an Attached Detail Group

A group cannot contain both model and detail (view-specific) elements. If you select both types of elements and then try to group them, the detail elements are placed into an attached detail group for that model group.

  1. In the drawing area, do one of the following:
    • Select model elements and detail elements, simultaneously. Click Modify | Multi-Select tabCreate panel (Create Group).
    • Select view-specific elements, tags, or dimensions that are associated with an existing model group, and click Modify | <Elements> tabCreate panel (Create Group).
    • Select an existing model group, and click Modify | Model Groups tabGroup panelEdit Group. Click Edit Group panel (Attach).
  2. In the Create Model Group and Attached Detail Group dialog, enter a name for the model group (if necessary), and enter a name for the attached detail group.
  3. Click OK.

In the Project Browser, the attached detail group displays under the model group that it belongs to.
