NOTE If more than one node is selected, they will be grouped. If there is only one
node selected and it is not a group node, it is grouped, otherwise if it is a group
node, it is ungrouped.
When you create a visual group node, all the nodes in this group display
semi-transparent backgrounds that allow the nodes to adopt the color of the
visual group itself. Nodes which are not part of the visual group that are
dragged over the group will stand out because they will be a different color
from the nodes in the visual group.
Visual group nodes are created with a default color. However, by right-clicking
on the title bar of the visual group, you can select the Color option, which
will display a color picker that allows you to choose a new color.
A new node-independent tab is created in the Tool UI for the group node. By
default, it will be named "Group (#)," for example, "Group(1)." You can rename
the group tab by entering a new name in the Name field in the Tool Options.
To edit a group or enter a super tool:
1 Right-click the group node (to edit a group) or the super tool (to enter
the super tool) and select Edit Group, or double-click the node.
2 The Schematic view updates to display the nodes in the group or the
nodes of the super tool.
To exit a group or a super tool:
➤
Right-click in the Group Schematic view and select Exit Group, or
double-click the background.
To resize or move a visual group node:
➤
The size of the visual group node is determined by the location of the
contained nodes. The size of the visual group node will expand or contract
as the contained nodes are moved around. To move a visual group node,
drag the title bar of the group node.
To lock a visual group or lock the nodes in a visual group:
1 Right-click on the title bar of a visual group node and select Lock, which
locks the group node, as well as all the nodes inside the group. This means
that all the nodes inside the group, as well as the group itself, are locked
in place.
