Working with grouped workplanes

When a grouped workplane is active, any geometry created is grouped with the workplane. A relationship is built between this geometry and the workplane. A grouped workplane has a dashed line style appearance when deactivated.

To make an existing workplane into a grouped workplane, use one of the following methods:

• Double-click the workplane to display the Workplane dialog, and select Group.
• Right-click the workplane to display the Workplane context menu, and select Group.

To stop creating geometry grouped with a workplane,use one of the following methods:

• Deselect the Group option on the Workplane dialog or Workplane context menu
• Deactivate the workplane.

To create all future workplanes as grouped:

1. Click File > Options > Application Options to display the Options dialog.
2. Select the Object > Workplanes page.
3. Select Grouped.
4. Click OK.

To add objects to an active workplane group:

1. Ensure the group workplane is active.
2. Select the objects.
3. Click Workplane tab > Group panel > Add to Group.

To remove objects from any grouped workplane:

1. Select the objects.
2. Click Workplane tab > Group panel > Remove from Group.
