Hi Martin, I am not sure if this is a flaw, but in the last hour or so, I have come across this little problem. When I completely group, using the icon on the top menu bar, a set of templates making up a scissors formation, with I might add, several partial templates within it, I find that when I try to arrange the group name labels, the partial templates for each of the four central diamond check rails (those for the elbows), do not get included in the label grouping and remain in the usual background template colours.  This also means, as I found out, that I cannot move that group as a whole entity, because the diamond check rails do not move with the group, and any alignments I have made for those four templates is lost. I have attached the box file for the group in question, which in the file, the group is the lower group of the two, i.e. nearest the grid origin, see what you think. All the best, Brian Nicholls. |

Hi Brian, Thanks for that. You have found a bug which has remained undetected for 10 years, since version 078.  There are of course several other ways to add a template to a group, but if you want to use the selection fence there are 2 possible workarounds: 1. put the track centre-lines back on for these check rail templates, or 2. group > group select > fence options > templates wholly contained menu option. Note that in this case you must then be sure to drag the fence entirely outside the templates you wish to group. It's an easy fix, in fact I have already done it. Will be in the next update.  Thanks again for finding it. regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin, Many thanks for the response, and the information contained therein.  It did catch me out initially, but now I’m aware, it’s not much of a problem. As you say, there is more than one way to add templates to a group. Also I did recover the situation easily enough. All the best, Brian Nicholls. |
