Block group names

Block group names can be added, modified and deleted in System Management > Projects > Block Groups.

Important: Only one user at a time can access this function with full access. Meanwhile, other users will not be able to open a block or a drawing in the project. Furthermore, this function cannot be opened with full access if another user has accessed the Building Block Overview, Block Order, Quick Block Definition Tool or Reassign Blocks to Groups function.

.

The following rules and limitations apply to block group names.

  • A block group name must be an alpha numeric string without spaces (underscores are allowed).
  • A Block group name cannot be a number, and texts "All" and "Cancel" are not allowed.
  • A block group name is case insensitive.
  • A group name maximum length is 20 characters

If no group names have been defined, then blocks can only be assigned to the "Hull" block group.

Blocks assigned to a modified or deleted group name will remain assigned to the original group name.
