Remove Groups

This command is used to "ungroup" selected entities that, prior to using this command, were part of a group. For our purposes, we might more specifically be referring to Carlson's Point Entity Grouping feature. A group is a named selection set of objects. This routine removes selected entities from groups. It is especially useful when dealing with our Carlson points.

More on Point Entity Grouping: As mentioned in the Points chapter, remember that for each point, the point attribute block, node, and symbol can be bound together. This means that if you choose to use the Move command (or other CAD tools) the entire collection moves together. This is done using the grouping functionality in AutoCAD or IntelliCAD. To disable this system altogether, go to Configure, choose General Settings, and turn off the toggle for Group Point Entities. If you need to temporarily disable grouping in a drawing, you can use the AutoCAD toggle for grouping, which is Ctrl-A. Holding down the Ctrl key, and pressing the letter A on the keyboard, activates this two-way toggle, with the current status echoed to the command prompt area.
