Command: exclude

Syntax

exclude <elist> {,<group>... }

Description

Remove graphic entities from one or more groups.

  Parameters

• <elist>
  A group/entity list defining which entities are to be removed.

• <group>
  A group identifier indicating the group from which the entities are to be removed. The entities may be removed from more than one group at the same time. Omitting the <group> parameter will remove the entities from the these group.

Switches

• -ef=<filter>
  A filter to be applied to all entities within <elist>, further qualifying which entities are to be removed. If omitted, the filter current_filter is used.

Notes

Removing an entity from a group does not delete the entity, but merely changes its group classification.

Removing a sub-entity of a compound from a group will also remove its parent and siblings.

No action is taken if an attempt is made to remove an entity from a group in which it is not present.

Examples

Remove an entity from the these group.

exclude my_arc

Remove two entities from two groups.

exclude <my_arc, my_circle>,group_a,group_b
