Named Groups

You can create named groups of elements, which can be manipulated in the same manner as graphic groups using the Element Selection tool and the Named Groups dialog box (Utilities > Named Groups). Named groups can be nested, a characteristic that makes this type of element grouping exceedingly flexible.

Quicksets

You can quickly create named groups using the view control pop-up menu. A named group created in this manner is called a quickset and is automatically named with the prefix “Quickset.” You can quickly create quicksets, which are a form of named group, using the view control pop-up menu. A named group created in this manner is called a quickset and is automatically named with the prefix “Quickset.” By default, quickset members are passive, such that manipulating an individual element of a quickset does not affect other members of the group. To work with all members of a quickset you first must recall the quickset. The maximum number of Quicksets in the open DGN file is 10. When you rename a quickset in the Named Groups dialog box, it is no longer considered a Quickset, and its previous name therefore becomes available for assignment to a new Quickset.
