Hi Andy,
If you're writing a Self-Installable Custom Operator, there's a limitation on the ConnectToGroup method where you can only connect one object to a portgroup at a time... It's quite annoying.
The other way around this is to use the UpdateConnectOnOp command to connect whatever you need to the port group (thanks to Jonathan Mc Dermott for that!).
You can also have a look at
http://softimage.wiki.avid.com/index.php/Custom_Operators_%28XSISDK%29
A lot of useful info there!
Cheers,
Aloys
