Hi all, I've been working with grps a lot lately and it has occurred to me that an addition might be useful. Often times When I have created a complex group and saved it I will end up needing to add another object. To do this I have to create the new object , un-group the old group then regroup all the objects again. It would be nice if there was a way to append a new object to an already existing grp without having to break it up into its component parts.
There is a work-around for this that I have discovered but it requires that the object type that you desire already exists in the grp. If you want a new button simply duplicate a btn that is already a grp member. Objects created this way retain their grp affiliations. Why is this an issue? Sometimes I am required to refer to a grp by its ID instead of its name. When the grp is broken up into its component parts it looses its ID. When it is regrouped a new ID is assigned but this is different from the original. Any reference to the original ID in a script won't work. To fix the problem you need to replace the Old ID with the new one. This is rather time consuming. If anyone knows how to append new objects without breaking up a grp please let me know.
