Frames and drawings > Frames – basic functions

When you group several frames or drawings, you combine them into a unit that can be selected and treated like a single object.

In practice, this means the following:

If you click on an object that belongs to a group, the entire group is selected. You can then move the group, and all objects of the group will also be moved.

Once the group is selected, clicking subsequently on a single object of the group will enable you to edit that object separately. It can then be moved, rotated, enlarged/reduced, provided with text or even deleted within the grouping.

To group objects, proceed as follows:

1.	Select the frames or drawings to be grouped. To do so, click on the objects successively while holding down the Shift keyñ.

Alternatively: Switch to Object mode

and drag a rectangle around all objects to be selected while holding down the mouse button.

2.	Click on the Group icon (in the Objects group) on the object-specific ribbon tab. Alternatively: Right-click on the selected objects and choose Group in the context menu.

Ungrouping objects

To ungroup objects, proceed as follows:

1.	Select the group by clicking (once) on one of the objects in it.

2.	Click on the Group icon again or choose the command Ungroup via the context menu.
