How to know in Patran to which group an element belongs ?

How to know in Patran to which group an element belongs ?

(OP)
I everyone,

is there a way (easy if possible) to know in Patran to which group an element belongs ?

Because I have a model (made by someone else) with tens of groups. And I try to identify in this model where each group is but the number of groups makes this thing difficult.

I've coloured automatically the different groups with the utility "Group > group color" but there is no caption indicating the colour of each group (except in the "Display > Entity Color/label/render" but it's not ideal...). I can also plot and then erase a group to see its position but, again, the number of groups makes the identification on the whole model very long.

I would like to select an element and see directly the associated group (in the manner of what is done using the function "Elements > Show-Element-Attributes").

Thank you!
