Grouping Characteristics

You can group and renumber characteristics, such as 2.1, 2.2, based on the original number.

To group characteristics:

  1. In the SOLIDWORKS Inspection Manager , on the Characteristic Table tab, Shift+click multiple consecutive rows.
  2. Right-click one of the selected rows, click Grouping, and click one of the following:
    • Group. Renumbers the characteristics and balloons to create subballoons. For example, grouping balloons 13, 14, and 15 creates balloon and characteristic numbers 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3.
    • Group with shared balloon. Renumbers the characteristics and creates a single balloon for all selected characteristics. For example, grouping balloons 13, 14, and 15 creates characteristic numbers 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3 and a shared balloon number 13 for all three characteristics.
