Quick links to procedures on this page:
You can group objects so they behave as one unit. Grouped objects can be moved, deleted, or transformed as a single entity. Even hidden objects in a group are transformed together with the visible objects.
You can add objects to, or remove objects from, an existing group. You can also nest a group of objects, which allows you to group objects within an existing group. You can also ungroup the objects when you want to edit them individually.
Grouped objects can be moved or transformed together. In this example, the ball and the boxes are grouped and resized as a group.
Combining objects lets you group them permanently. You can combine multiple objects into one object, or combine objects with the background. When you combine objects, you lose the ability to edit the objects independently. You can also decrease the file size of an image by combining objects.
