==Description==
==Description==
This tool displays a drop-down menu that allows you to add the selected objects to an existing group, or to remove them from their current group.


The [[Image:Draft_AddToGroup.svg|24px]] '''Draft AddToGroup''' command moves objects to a [[Std_Group|Std Group]]. It can also ungroup objects.
This tool can add objects to a {{Button|[[Image:Group.svg|16px]] [[Std_Group|Std Group]]}}, a {{Button|[[Image:Group.svg|16px]] [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode|Draft Construction group]]}}, or a {{Button|[[Image:Draft_VisGroup.svg|16px]] [[Draft_VisGroup|Draft VisGroup]]}}{{Obsolete|0.19}}


In FreeCAD version 0.20 the command can also handle group-like [[Arch_Module|Arch]] objects.
To add the objects directly to the {{Button|[[Image:Group.svg|16px]] [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode|Draft Construction group]]}}, you can use {{Button|[[Image:Draft AddConstruction.svg|16px]] [[Draft_AddConstruction|Draft AddConstruction]]}}


==Usage==
==Usage==
# Select the objects that you wish to organize.
# Right click and select {{MenuCommand|Utilities → [[Image:Draft_AddToGroup.svg|16px]] [[Draft AddToGroup|Move to group]]}}.
# Select the desired group, or click {{KEY|Ungroup}}


# To use this command at least one group must exist.
At least one of [[Image:Group.svg|16px]] [[Std_Group|Std Group]], [[Image:Group.svg|16px]] [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode|Draft Construction group]], or [[Image:Draft_VisGroup.svg|16px]] [[Draft_VisGroup|Draft VisGroup]] must exist before using this tool.
# Select one or more objects.
# There are several ways to invoke the command:
#* Press the {{Button|[[Image:Draft_AddToGroup.svg|16px]] [[Draft_AddToGroup|Draft AddToGroup]]}} button.
#* Select the {{MenuCommand|Utilities → [[Image:Draft_AddToGroup.svg|16px]] Move to group...}} option from the menu.
#* Select the {{MenuCommand|Utilities → [[Image:Draft_AddToGroup.svg|16px]] Move to group...}} option from the [[Tree_view|Tree view]] or [[3D_view|3D view]] context menu.
# A menu is displayed near the cursor. Do one of the following:
#* Select the group you want to move the objects to.
#* Select {{MenuCommand|Ungroup}} to move the objects out of the group(s) they are in.

==Notes==

* Objects can also be moved to a group by drag and dropping them on the group in the [[Tree_view|Tree view]].
* This command can be used to move objects to the [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode|Draft construction group]], but, contrary to the [[Draft_AddConstruction|Draft AddConstruction]] command, it does not apply the [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode#Preferences|construction geometry color]].
* For more information about organizing your model see [[Document_structure|Document structure]] and [[Arch_tutorial#Organizing_your_model|Arch tutorial]].
