5-5-9 Grouping and Ungrouping Objects
Grouping multiple functional or fixed objects allows them to be handled as one group when editing or
adjusting layout. Grouped objects can also be grouped with other functional or fixed objects or placed
in other groups.
Grouping Objects
1. Select the functional or fixed objects to be grouped.
2. Select Layout – Group.
Reference
♦ The shortcut keys for grouping objects are the Ctrl + G Keys.
♦ Video Displays and tables cannot be grouped.
♦ The CSV file import/export function can be used to set functional object properties while the func-
tional objects are still grouped (labels, comments, and addresses only). Refer to Section 12 Im-
porting/Exporting CSV Files for information.
