 +selection by pattern which is always done through RunCommand, see [[macros:example:quickcreategroups|]]
 +additionally Gregory's comment, email 10.06.21:
 +
 +> It won’t make much difference but in principle you could select the group and set the pattern in one command e.g. Command.RunCommand("GROUP 1 PATTERN 1.1"). The function used when holding down a group is slightly different Command.RunGroupCommand(Group.CurrentGroupUserNumber, "PATTERN 1.1") which ends up running the same command string as above but changes an option for how the group is toggled. From what I can tell the difference is that RunGroupCommand will deselect fixtures it they are already selected but the normal command will always add to the select and never remove. Even though the factory macro sets the Selection.Context.Global.RepeatPattern property it does not look like the software normally does this and will therefore leave it as the user has last set it.
