Basic Grouping and Ungrouping

When you create objects on the flipchart page, it is sometimes useful to group them so that they act as a single object. This is very handy when drawing diagrams or moving complicated objects around on your flipchart page.

The most basic way of grouping and ungrouping is to select the various objects you’re interested in, then double click on one of the selected objects to open the Object Edit toolbox.

In this toolbox, click on the icon of the red tick on the white page. This will open the Properties window for the group of objects you have selected.

Select Identification in the white panel on the left of the Properties window, then click to place a tick in the box where it says Grouped.

Finally, close the Properties window and try resizing or rotating your newly grouped objects.

To ungroup the objects again, go back and remove the tick from the Grouped box. Note that this will ungroup everything to its most basic possible level, meaning that handriting will be broken down into individual penstrokes.
