7–10 Working with Objects
Publication 2711-6.0
You can group objects so they can be moved or edited as a single
unit. When moving objects in a group, they maintain their positions
relative to each other. Grouped objects remain together until
ungrouped.
A global object can consist of grouped objects. For example, you
can group a bar graph, scale and tick-mark labels, and then define the
group as a global object by double-clicking the group. This opens
the Options dialog which lets you create a global object.
To group a set of objects:
1. Select the objects you want to group.
Handles appear on all objects that are selected.
2. Click the Group tool on the tool bar.
Or choose Group from the Edit menu.
An outline appears around the objects that are grouped.
Selecting any one of the objects selects the entire group. When a
group is selected you can move, cut/copy/paste or delete objects in a
single operation. You can also size a selected object while
maintaining its group status.
To ungroup a set of grouped objects:
1. Select the group.
2. Click the Ungroup tool on the tool bar.
Or choose Ungroup from the Edit menu.
The objects are now separate again. Deselect the group before
selecting an individual object.
PanelBuilder remembers the last assembled group. To reassemble a
former group of objects choose Regroup from the Edit menu.
