How's that for fast service!

Thanks Frenchy Pilou
yes it' fats reply
what you do when it's just one line ?
-
For one line, you might be better off copy/moving it then erasing the original ( you could do it with more than one line or face as well)
select the items you want to move
select the move tool
press ctrl before using the move tool ( note the plus sign added to the cursor)
move the copied line into place -
if its just a single line you can usually just redraw it where you need it, or if itd be particularly tricky to redraw, draw another attached line, group it, move it and delete the extra line.

Interesting that from the context menu, you cannot make a group of a single entity. But you can from the Edit menu.

depending what you have to do... select > ctrl+x > ctrl+v
fast, simply and powerful -
Ctrl+X Cuts the Geometry to the Clipboard - if there are Faces not Selected but connected to Selected Edges then they'll be Deleted.
In that case it's better to Select the Entities and then use Group on them, then Move [or Cut+Paste] the Group and finally Explode it [if desired] - the Group command is clever enough to leave any Faced Edges behind in the Model, but it still duplicates those Edges inside the Group - also any Selected Faces will get all of their Edges included even if some of them were not originally Selected...Using Groups use either Ctrl+X to Cut OR Ctrl+C to Copy the Selection inside one Group's Edit Session and then within another Group's Edit Session use Paste-in-Place [I shortcut that to Ctrl+Shift+V] and the Selection is effectively Moved from inside one Group/Component to inside another... A very quick way to Move or Duplicate Geometry between Groups - for example rather than use 'Intersect with Model' on some Group Entities [which might produce lots of unwanted or unexpected Intersections] it's often quicker to Select the Faces you want to Intersect with, then Edit/Copy them, then Paste-in-Place inside the Group's Edit Session and Select the Faces and use 'Intersect with Context', finally Erase the unwanted bits...

Hi Gaieus, hi folks.

I signaled this glitch years ago when at version 4, I think.
This is probably very low on the priority list of SU's developpers.
Just ideas.

I know, I have also reported it. And in fact, it is not even that big of an issue - just an annoying inconsistency.
-
I have a shortcut key assigned to make group and component from selection - even if one item [links to Edit Menu item not CM] - G=Group and B=Block[Component] - the 'standard' of G=Component is just illogical!!!.
A key is quicker than the context-menu anyway...
