************* GLOBAL SUBSTITUTION OF GROUPS ************
\
THIS IS A POWERFUL FUNCTION IN THAT IT REPLACES ALL COPIES
OF AN EXISTING GROUP WITH ANOTHER GROUP. THIS CAN SAVE A
LOT OF TIME.
<end>
LET US LOAD THE DRAWING SAMPLE1 TO BETTER DEMONSTRATE THIS
FUNCTION.
<end>
LET US MODIFY AN EXISTING OBJECT SUCH AS A CHAIR.
<end>
A GROUP REPLACING ANOTHER MUST HAVE THE SAME ROTATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE ABOVE THE FUNCTION, "INFO GROUP" IS TELLING
US THAT THE ROTATION OF THE CYAN CHAIR IS "0" DEGREES &
THE MIRROR FACTOR IS "N" FOR NONE. THE "WOULD BE MODIFIED"
CHAIR MUST ALSO HAVE A "0" ROTATION & NO MIRROR FACTOR.
<end>
PRESS "1" FOR THE GROUPS AREA MENU.
SELECT "SUBSTITUTE" FROM THE MENU.
<end>
NOW TELL THE SOFTWARE TO SUBSTITUTE ALL COPIES OF THIS
GROUP (ALL 64 COPIES OF THE CYAN CHAIR)
<end>
WITH THIS OTHER GROUP (THE VIOLET CHAIR):
<end>
& POSITION THE SECOND GROUP WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST
GROUP LIKE THIS:
<end>
NOTICE HOW QUICKLY & SIMPLY ALL CHAIRS WHERE REPLACED.
<end>
