Groups

Create a group automatically from an element quality check

  1. Choose Home tab→Checks and Information group→Element Quality .

  2. Click Element Quality .

  3. In the Output Settings group, from the Output Group Elements list, select an option to control which elements the software places in the new group.For example, if you select Failed, all elements that fail the element quality check are placed in the new group.

  4. Click Check Elements. The software creates a new group named OUTPUT GROUP. If a group named OUTPUT GROUP already exists, it overwrites the contents of the existing group.Tip: To retain the results of an element quality check, rename the output group prior to performing another action.
