I'm having a few problems perhaps I can get some advice for.

After creating several new grouped entities and saving my file, the groups weren't there when I re-opened the file.

How can I make / get the spacing on hidden lines smaller? Even HIDDEN2 is too long

It is very easy to create your own custom linetypes in progeCAD. See the file C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\progeSOFT\progeCAD 2008\R8\PRENG\ICAD.LIN.

The syntax is simple. It follows the same procedure as AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. See:
http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/AutoCAD ... etype.html

You can also adjust LTSCALE. This variable will affect all lines. See the progeCAD help file.

Thanks for the advice on the hidden lines.

Grouping is still a challenge. I've even tried ungrouping all named and unnamed groups, saving the file, closing the file then re-opening the file only to have the groups back again.

I think I've got the grouping figured out. I removed the entities from the groups I didn't need THEN ungrouped them and the changes stayed.
