Grouping objects

When you group two or more objects, they are treated as a single unit. This lets you apply the same formatting, properties, and other changes to all the objects within the group at the same time. CorelDRAW also lets you group other groups to create nested groups.

You can also add and remove objects to and from a group and delete objects that are members of a group. If you want to edit a single object in a group, you can ungroup the objects.

Single objects retain their attributes when they are grouped.

To group objects

1Select the objects.

2Click Arrange ` Group.

You can select objects from different layers and group them; however, once grouped, the objects will reside on the same layer.

You can create a nested group, by selecting two or more groups of objects and clicking Arrange ` Group.

You can also group objects by clicking Window ` Dockers ` Object manager, and dragging an object’s name in the Object manager docker over the name of another object.
