You can group several objects together in order to treat them as a unit. A group can be edited, copied, inserted and added to a library as a unit.

There are several methods to group objects. Mark two or more objects and:

  • Click on the “Group” button.

  • Click with the right mouse button on one of the marked objects and select “Group” from the context menu.

  • Press <Ctrl> + <G>.

A marked group can be ungrouped again:

  • Click on the “Group” button again.

  • Click with the right mouse button on one of the marked objects and select “Ungroup” from the context menu.

  • Press <Ctrl> + <G> again.

Properties of groups

The properties dialog of a group offers only a few setting options, such as the general dynamic properties. If properties of a single object are to be changed, the group either needs to be ungrouped temporarily (provided that you are working in design mode), or you can right-click on an object in the group. In the context menu, you can then choose whether you want to edit the properties of the object or group.

In the display mode, you can, however, display and change the properties of single objects at any time. For this purpose, open the properties dialog from the context menu.

A group is created automatically if several objects are selected and added to the library, see chapter Library.
