The Group Items will display a menu that allows you to create groups by process types or by tool types.
If you are viewing the sequence at the group level, then the relevant items will be taken from all processes in the nest and the newly created group will be placed at the end of the sequence list.
If you are in Edit Group mode and viewing a group sequence at the process level, then the selected items will be taken from the current group and placed in a new group that will be inserted in the sequence list before the current group.
This example shows the Group Items submenus on a plate with Plasma processing (Plasma(Good Cut) ) and 3 spindle bits in use (KSEM1.375", KSEM30.00 and KSEM38)- note the Group By Tool effectively lists the tooling in the plate.
