Different question, but since it fits the thread topic…
I'm wondering if this is a bug or if I'm using groups wrong: Let's say I create a group in a submodel, so that subfile is the "top" level for that group. Then I switch to the main model session and go into nested mode. I select the group that's in the submodel, and add some parts from the main model to it. Everything works fine, I can select and manipulate* the group with all of its parts.
But now let's say I've closed LDCad, and I go back to the model another day. Then, selecting the group in nested mode only affects those parts in the submodel—the parts added to it from the main model aren't selected, even though they're still in the group according to the file code. In other words, when LDCad is closed and re-opened, it seems to "forget" any group parts that are not in its top-level subfile.
Now I assume I should just create the group in the main session and then add parts to it from the submodel instead of the other way around. The downside is just that I can't then select the group at all when I'm editing the submodel itself—but I guess, why would I want to be able to select a group if I can't select all of its parts anyway?
*Well, not totally fine…the group center shows up in very odd places if I select parts from the non-top-level of the group, and transforming the group leads to unexpected results with these parts…but that's another story!
