Exploding a Point Group |
Scroll |
You can explode a point group into separate elements.
To explode one group of points, start the Explode command from the context menu of this group in the Design Tree.
To explode several groups, select them in the Design Tree and run the Explode command from the Edit menu.
After you start the command, the explosion dialog box appears on the screen. To confirm explosion, click the Explode button in this dialog box.
A group will be exploded according to the following rule:
•an icon of the group and its objects is removed from the Design Tree;
•objects within the group remain in the same position as they were in the group.
Types of objects that appear as a result of explosion depend on types of the source objects of the group (see the Table).
