Positioning the spirals

You can group multiple objects to enact sweeping changes to portions of your work. First, you will position the spirals relative to each other; then, you will group them.

1. Rotate the spirals, if necessary, so that the tail of the spiral is pointing down. Using the Pick tool to click once on an already selected object will make the rotation handles appear. Click and drag a rotation handle to re-orient. Click here for a demonstration.
2. Line the stylized spirals across the width of the page.
3. Marquee-select the row of spirals: first select the Pick tool. Position it to the left of and just above the row of spirals. Click and drag diagonally until a rectangle surrounds the spirals, without selecting other objects. Click here for a demonstration.
4. Click Arrange menu Group, from the property bar. To complete the grouping process, deselect the group of spirals by clicking once on a blank part of the page. Clicking once on any part of the group will now select the entire contents of the group.
