Manage grouped objects

The following restrictions apply in this version of the application:

• A shape or group of objects that has been expanded using a third-party editor may not be displayed correctly as part of the group.
• You cannot resize expanded shapes and groups of objects. But if this shape or group is part of another group, its size changes proportionally to other objects in this group.
• Pasting copied or cut object groups into MyText and MySpreadsheet applications is not supported.
• In the cloud, the Undo and Redo commands may not work properly.

To select a group of objects, click any object in the group. When you select a group, its common borders are highlighted. The borders of individual objects are not highlighted.

You can do the following actions with a group of objects:

• Format: For example, change the fill color and outline of objects or change the parameters of text located inside shapes.
• Move: Moving a group of objects is done similarly to moving objects (for example, shapes).
• Resize: Similar to resizing objects.
• Change position: Similar to changing the position of objects.
• Copy, cut and paste.
• Replace all images: If the group consists of images only.

You can select any of the objects in a group and change its parameters or delete it.

To select an object in a group, select the group and then click to select the desired object in the group. To switch to the edit mode of an object, select it with a double click.

To move sequentially between objects in a group, press Tab.

• To sequentially edit and format the content of each grouped object, move between objects using ←, →, ↑ and ↓ keys while holding Ctrl down.

You can cut and copy objects within a group. When pasting, these objects are pasted outside the group.

Moving and zooming objects within a group is not supported.

To clear the selection from an object within a group and select the entire group of objects, click the group frame.
