      <p class="para_division">After running Assign Group ID, each weld is assigned a Group ID and Tolerance attribute.</p>
      <p class="para_division">If additional welds are added and the function rerun, existing weld Group ID's will not be affected. New welds will be evaluated for panel combination and either placed into the proper existing Group or assigned a new Group ID. If a weld is edited such that its panel combination is changed (either by adding or removing faces), the system removes the Group ID attribute from those welds at the time of edit. Running Assign Group ID will then assign the proper Group ID. After all welds have been assigned or reassigned a Group ID, the tolerance value will be calculated and reassigned.</p>
