LDCad - How do I manage groups?

[Roland Melkert]

I'm just starting with LDCad, and so far I'm loving. But I'm having trouble trying to manage groups.

The behavior you want can be done using layers (groups can be in multiple layers at once) but you don't seem to want that, so that leaves submodels.

Using submodels combined with the source window will give you a more 'gui' like way of doing the things you want.

Groups are, imho, always a last resort, using submodels is usually much more manageable.

The group name can be edited using its property dialog, you open that by pressing ENTER while a group is selected and the mouse is inside the editing area.
