You can rename a group in AutoCAD directly through the command line interaction initiated by the GROUP
command.
Step-by-Step Guide to Renaming a Group Using the GROUP Command Prompt
Renaming a group is a straightforward process in AutoCAD. The following steps outline how to do this using a specific method accessible through the GROUP
command's prompt options after selecting the group you wish to modify.
Here are the exact steps to rename your selected group:
- Type
GROUP
in the command line and press Enter. This action typically opens the Object Grouping dialog box or activates group command options in the command line. - Select the group you want to rename. You can select it graphically in the drawing area or potentially by name if the command line prompts allow (the reference implies selecting in the drawing). Once selected, the command line prompt will change, offering options related to the selected group.
- At the prompt, enter
ren
(which is the shortcut for rename) and press Enter. - Enter the new name for the group and press Enter again to finalize the change.
This method provides a quick way to rename a group without necessarily navigating through the full Group Manager dialog box, relying instead on command line sub-options available after selection.
