==Bug in version 0.19==

In FreeCAD version 0.19 this command and the [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode|Draft ToggleConstructionMode]] command will typically use different groups. To avoid this change the {{MenuCommand|Construction group name}} in the preferences to {{Value|Draft_Construction}}: {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences... → Draft → General settings → Construction Geometry → Construction group name}}. In version 0.20 the {{MenuCommand|Construction group name}} is used for the label of the construction group, the name of the group is always {{Value|Draft_Construction}}.

* Objects can also be moved to the construction group by drag and dropping them on the group in the [[Tree_view|Tree view]], or by using the [[Draft_AddToGroup|Draft AddToGroup]] command. But in both cases the [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode#Preferences|construction geometry color]] is not applied.
It's also possible to add objects using {{Button|[[Image:Draft_AddToGroup.svg|16px]] [[Draft_AddToGroup|Draft AddToGroup]]}} to a {{Button|[[Image:Std_Group.svg|16px]] [[Std_Group|Std Group]]}}.
