Syntax
Usage
When the MIF interpreter encounters a Group statement, it searches all objects within the current graphic
frame for those group IDs that match the ID of the Group statement. These objects are then collected to
form the group. All objects with the same group ID must be listed in the MIF file before their associated
Group statement is listed. If multiple Group statements have the same ID, the results will be unpredictable.
For more information about the group ID, see “Generic object statements” on page 111.
