Merge, subtract and intersectĪfter you have selected more than one object, the Merge, Subtract, and Intersect functions become available, allowing you to create a new object with a new shape. Right-click on the selection and select Combine from the context menu.Īt first glance, the results can seem rather surprising, but once you understand the rules governing combination in Draw, combining objects will become clearer.Select the objects you want to combine.When you combine objects, the drawing elements are replaced by Bézier curves and holes appear where the objects overlap. You can split apart combined objects, but the original object properties are lost. Unlike grouping, a combined object takes on the properties of the lowermost object in the stacking order. The Combine function, combines two or more selected objects into a single shape. Right-click and select the Ungroup command from the context menu.
Place the mouse cursor anywhere on the group area.To exit the group right click and select Exit group from the context menu.
Now the group is temporarily disabled and you can start editing objects inside the group. To Enter a Group simply double click on any object within the group or use the corresponding context menu item.
In this mode, the grouping is temporarily disabled so that we can edit group objects separately. However, in order to edit individual objects belonging to a group, it is necessary to first to Enter the group. The objects within group retain their properties while at the same time can be edited independently. If you click on one object in the group, the whole group is selected. When objects are grouped, any editing operations carried out on that group are applied to all objects within the group.
Select the objects by clicking on each object in turn while holding down the Shift key, or use the Select icon on the Drawing toolbar and draw a selection rectangle around the objects using the cursor.To cancel a temporary grouping of objects, simply click outside of the selection handles displayed around the objects. For example, you can rotate a temporary group of objects in its entirety. Any changes to object parameters that you carry out are applied to all of the objects within the temporary group. Temporary groupingĪ temporary grouping is when several objects are selected. A group can always be undone and the objects that make up the group can always be manipulated separately. You can move the objects as a group and apply global changes to the objects within the group. Grouping of objects is similar to putting objects into a container.
