Two or more objects can be grouped to form a single entity that can be animated, moved, scaled or rotated as a single object. A group can be composed of multiple groups.

A group can be separated, obtaining the constituent elements. The separation takes place by progressive levels: in the case where the group is in turn made up of several groups, the first application of the command separates exclusively the main group; the second separates the application sub-groups, etc ...

When a group is separated, the properties related to the group object are lost, because the entity ceases to exist. The properties of the individual constituent objects are instead preserved.


The tools for the management of operations related to the groups are as follows:

Group

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + G
