Ungroup Example

Demonstrates uses of the Ungroup statement UNGRP to manipulate several groups. There are three optional Ungroup statements at the end of the program showing different results.

$$
$$ Declarations
$$
    ENTITY/LN(4),CR(2),GRP1,GRP2
$$
$$ Geometry Definition
$$
    LN(1)=LINE/-1,-.5,1,-.5
    LN(2)=LINE/1,-.5,1,.5
    LN(3)=LINE/1,.5,-1,.5
    LN(4)=LINE/-1,.5,-1,-.5
    CR(1)=CIRCLE/0,0,.5
    CR(2)=CIRCLE/0,0,.25
    GRP1=GROUP/LN
    GRP2=GROUP/CR,GRP1

Ungrouping

If the next statement in the program above was:

UNGRP/TOP,GRP2 – GRP2 would be ungrouped, but GRP1 would continue to exist.

UNGRP/GRP2 – Both GRP1 and GRP2 would be ungrouped.

UNGRP/GRP1 – GRP1 would be ungrouped, and LN(1) through LN(4) would become elements of GRP2.
