Create group and add objects syntax

psill000

Layout ver 6.1.5

What is the proper syntax to create a group and add an object?

tmp=dbCreateFigGroup(ccv() "testGrp0" geGetSelSet() '(0 0) "R0") or

tmp=dbCreateFigGroup(ccv() "testGrp0" nil '(0 0) "R0")
foreach(obj geGetSelSet() dbAddObjectToGroup(tmp obj))

I tried tmp= dbGetGroupByName(cv "testGrp0")

 I tried the above and get an erro message: *Error* dbAddObjectToGroup: Invalid group object - db:0x16ef871b

 

Thanks

Thanks

     There are two types of groups in OpenAccess, the logical group and the physical figGroup. They use different commands, you have them mixed.

    group - Logical connection between objects. Usually used by applications, no interactive editing support. Abutment used a group for tracking.

    dbCreateGroup, dbAddObjectToGroup, dbRemoveObjectFromGroup, dbGetGroupByName.

    figGroup - Physically joins multiple figures, edit as a single object.  To programmatically edit all the objects in the figGroup, edit the figGroup object.

    dbCreateFigGroup,  dbAddFigToFigGroup, dbRemoveFigFromFigGroup, dbGetFigGroupByName
