Re: Grouping of objects

I'm wondering:
  Why the user asked such an 'obvious' question?

I guess it is because when a user selects multiple shapes, the popup (right click) menu shows nothing (because there is NO popup menu!)

Yes, select objects and press Ctrl+g or menu Objects > Group

To ungroup objects press Ctrl+Shift+g or Ojects > Ungroup.

Do you mean drop an object from a sheet and the object is actually a group containing multiple objects?

I don't think this functionality is currently available, but I might be wrong.

Subject: Grouping of objects

Hi,

 

I have two specific feature related questions:

 

a.      Is grouping supported: Can I select a  bunch of items together and treat them as one object? Can thisgroup have its own properties?

b.      Can I create icons that represent groups: Instead of one leaf item, when I drop the icon in, it expands into its constituent objects

 

 

Thanks in advance, and regardless, awesome tool.
