A group icon cannot be directly added to a macro. Instead, it is created by selecting a group of command icons and grouping them together as explained below.
Like other commands, group icons can be moved within the macro and copied to other macros.
Display Name
The name of the icon that appears on the flowchart.
View contents
The contents of the group icon can be viewed by clicking the "View contents" button in the property window, or by right-clicking the command icon and selecting the "Show macro" entry. The group's icons will be shown in a separate read-only macro window.
Grouping commands
Command and component icons can be grouped, if you would like to reduce the flowchart working area space.
For example, if you have several icons above the main loop, e.g.:
but you are only interested in simulation within the main loop then you can group the icons you are not interested in so the flowchart will look like this:
To group the icons, hold the left mouse button down and drag the icons you wish to group together.
Right-click on the selected group and select group Icons.
You can ungroup the icons by right-clicking on the selected group and selecting Ungroup Icons.
Note, the individual icons within the grouped icons will not be shown during the simulation. Therefore if you are single-stepping, the active simulation outline will remain on the grouped icons until all icons have been accessed.
