Hi Group,

I've been trying to find a way to ungroup graphics within an anchored frame. Can't find a method to do this.

Maybe going inside a group, grabbing the group components, saving them somewhere, deleting the group and recreating the components in its original positions.

if (oGraphic2.type = Constants.FO_Group){ //graphic is a group


    alert("Graphic selected is a group.");


    //do something to Ungroup the group


}

All you have to do is delete the Group object:

#target framemaker




var doc = app.ActiveDoc;


var graphic = doc.FirstSelectedGraphicInDoc;


var group = graphic.GroupParent;




if (group.constructor.name === "Group") {


    group.Delete ();


}
