In AutoCAD, the Group command has always seemed like a comand that could potentialy be very useful, but is let down by an awkward user interface IMHO. Anyway, some time ago (about 2000) a friend who used LT pointed out to me that the user interface for the group command was completely different in LT - in many ways it was the kind of way that I had always wanted the group command to work in AutoCAD. At the time I queried this, & people were of the opinion that modifications might be tested or introduced in LT, but then would generaly be added to the next version of AutoCAD. I forgot about this for a while, but was reminded again last week when sitting next to someone using LT. The command still works the same in the latest LT as it always has done in LT & it is simple to create & manipulate unnamed groups. In AutoCAD 2004 though it is still the awkward interface that it always has had in the full version of AutoCAD. Why? I thought that the point of LT was that it was AutoCAD with some of the features removed - but in this instance, it is instead a feature that just works differently between the programs. Is there any easy way to get it to work in 2004 like it does in LT? -- Matthew Taylor www.mtaylor.co.uk
