The grouping feature is especially useful if you want to move a group of
objects without disturbing their relative positions. It is also faster than
moving the objects individually. However, once you have created a
group from a collection of objects, they can no longer be edited, resized,
or moved individually until you return them to their separate status by
ungrouping them.
NOTE: The grouping feature is distinct from the SMART Grouping
feature that automatically groups annotations created within a specified
area and time frame. To enable SMART Grouping and specify the spatial
and temporal limits to the feature, select Options from the Tools menu,
and then click on the SMART Grouping tab.
To group several Notebook objects:
1. Click the Select button in any Notebook Toolbar.
or
Choose Select from the Draw menu.
2. Select all the objects you want included in this group (see "To
select several objects" on page 30).
3. Select Group from the Draw menu.
The individually selected objects are now combined into a single
grouped object, which can be moved without disturbing the
relative positions of the individual annotations within the group.
The group can also be resized as a single unit by clicking on any
of the 8 resizing handles and dragging.
Grouping individual objects into an integrated collection of objects may
only be temporarily useful. Later, you may want to restore the group to
its original constituent units for subsequent individual manipulation.
To ungroup an object group:
1. Click the Select button in any Notebook
Toolbar.
or
Choose Select from the Draw menu.
2. Select the object group you want to ungroup.
