Motion Simulation: Defining Groups

New Motion Simulation Groups can be added to the Groups Tree as required.

To create a new motion simulation group:

Right-click anywhere within the Groups tree tab and select New Group from the popup menu. By default, the new group is initially named New Group#<x> (where <x> is the first available index number, eg New Group#1). Rename the group as required.

Note: Any component that is selected when the group is created will be attached to it automatically.

Right-click and select New Group:	Initial group name; rename as required:	Groups tree:

Add components to the new groups by dragging them from their current group.

Component under Unassigned:	The same component moved to a group:	The Groups tree after the relevant components have been assigned to groups:

Notes:

Components can be moved between groups by, dragging them or by cutting and pasting them. Multiple components can be selected by using the Ctrl button and picking the required components.
Components can be selected either from the Groups tree of from the display area.
Any component can be dragged to any group, regardless of its original position or nesting level.
If the real parent of the component is in that group, it will be placed under that parent.
If you drag a sub-assembly to a group, and the group contains children of that sub assembly, they will be placed under it; if not, it will be placed in the position it was dragged to.
If a component is added to the main assembly, it will automatically go to the Unassigned group.
If a component is added to a sub-assembly, it will automatically go to the group that contains the sub-assembly and be placed under the sub-assembly.
When Motion Simulation is open, components can be assigned to groups by selecting them and then using the Middle Mouse Button to select a component of the group to which to attach them.
