|---|
group_name | An Existing Group | Specifies the group to modify. You use this parameter to identify the existing group to affect with this command. |

Extended Definition:
1. When objects in a group are deleted, they are deleted in the same manner as other delete operations in Adams View. That is, they are checked for dependent objects, and if any dependencies are found they are deleted.
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. 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 and so on. Using the parameter TYPE_FILTER=part will result in only the parts being processed by this command.
4. As an example for the remove_unused_references parameter, if a circle is being deleted, and its center marker is not being used by anything other than the circle, then it is an unused reference.
