Extended Definition:
1. When objects in a group are copied, they are copied in the same manner as other copy operations in Adams View. That is, a replica of the original objects are created, reference markers for the new object are created as needed and a new name is automatically generated.
The newly created objects can be placed into a new or an existing group as they are being copied with the NEW_GROUP_NAME parameter.
2. You may identify a group by typing its name. If a group is available by default, you may identify it by entering its name only. If it is not, you must enter its full name. If you type a "?", Adams View will list the group available by default.
You must separate multiple group names by commas.
3. If a new group is specified, the group is created.
You may identify a group by typing its name. If a group is available by default, you may identify it by entering its name only. If it is not, you must enter its full name. If you type a "?", Adams View will list the group available by default.
You must separate multiple group names by commas.
4. When specifying the objects for this operation a wild cards can be used, which may result in too many objects being found. For example, if all the parts for model MOD1 are desired, specifying .MOD1.* will get not only the parts, but all children of the model, like joints, forces, etc. Using the parameter TYPE_FILTER=part will result in only the parts being processed by this command.
