Actions for Attribute Groups

Action Description For details, see:
Add Existing Adds an attribute group to the list. Finding and Selecting Attribute Groups
Remove Removes the selected attribute groups from the class; click OK to confirm. This command removes the group from the list; it does not delete the group.

You cannot remove attribute groups that are inherited.

A warning is shown if there are any classified objects that would be affected by removing the checked attribute groups, since removing an attribute group generally results in loss of information. 

If you remove attribute groups from this class, all classified objects 
in this class and below will lose the attributes of those groups and 
their values. This will affect all classified objects regardless of 
state or revision. N objects will be affected. Do you want to proceed?

Click OK to proceed.
