Creating a Group of Elements

After you create elements, you can group them. Grouping elements lets you manage the elements as one unit.

Groups are assigned default names when you create them, such as Group1, Group2, and so on. After you create a group, you can rename it.

Groups can have properties that are different than the properties of the elements.

To create a group

1. Select the elements you want as part of the new group.

2. On the Arrange menu, point to Grouping, and then click Group. The elements are combined into a group. The group is listed in the Elements List.

3. Rename the group as required. To do this:

   1. In the Elements List, click the group name and click again. The group name is in edit mode.

   2. Type a new name and click Enter. The group is renamed.

   3. You can also rename a group or elements by changing the Name property in the Properties Editor.
