| In version 5.xx and later, Groups now also
get an AN point (as well as squares, circles, polylines, etc).
Square, circles, etc get AN points because they can have runtime
dynamics configured for them. Groups now also get AN points in
anticipation of them also being able to have runtime dynamics
configured for them (eventually).
It should also be noted that templates, genies, and symbols
(library objects) have always been grouped automatically when they
are saved (so that they have a single object to reference them by
-- ie the 'group').
SymbolSets can be thought of simply as a group whose elements
can be selectively made hidden/visible at runtime. Not only does
the SymbolSet get an AN point, each member 'symbol' also gets its
respective AN point(s), just as if you had pasted that symbol onto
the page. |
