Group Inside Symbol - Automatically Ungroups after Exiting Symbol Edit Mode


ericjhberg

Question

I am trying to group together several similar items (each in a different class) into one group inside of a symbol. This group is intended to be in a parent class that would then control the visibility of the entire group.

 

However, after grouping the items in the symbol and placing it the desired class, when I exit the symbol, the items come un-grouped.

 

When I reenter the symbol edit, sure enough, they are all ungrouped.

 

Any ideas?

I remember having this issue in the past, and I assume it's a bug. I can't remember the exact logic, but it was something along the lines of Vectorworks not liking it when I grouped symbols along with other types of objects which were all within a larger symbol. Are some of the objects you're trying to group nested symbols?

 

Or perhaps it was that some of my nested symbols were 2D/3D and some were 3D-only. I can't remember, but it definitely had to do with nested symbols in my case.
