santa Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'm interested to learn how others work when it comes to editing objects within groups. In my experience, sub-groups (two or even deeper), are deadly with the Edit Groups/Components command. They simply do not work! What's the point of having this option? Do others have a similar experience? Is unlocking the preferred, and only way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I've never had a problem with editing objects in a group or even objects in a group within a group. Components, however, are a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsOne Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Same. No problem working with Groups, including multiple sub-groups. Components were a big problem in v7 and 8. I haven't tested them fully in v9 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santa Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Solved! It appears that the problem file was created in a legacy version of Form.Z. Although the old group hierarchy is preserved in that file, the new Edit Group/Component command does not see it that way. Drilling down the hierarchy works, but coming up again doesn't. Regrouping all objects is the fix, although a tedious one due to the complexity. Perhaps support can look into this? There must be many legacy files out there that are not yet ready for the scrapheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
