Using the Group Manager to set up groups in AutoCAD

- [Teacher] Welcome to another autoCAD tip and trick…from lynda.com.…What we're going to look at this time is…the Group Manager in autoCAD, and how it allows you…to create and manage groups effectively…in your autoCAD drawings.…So, to that end, we have a new drawing open for you.…You can see that at the top of the screen.…And you can download that…from your lynda.com exercise files as usual…to follow along with the video.…So what we're going to look at is the Group Manager.…
