4.1.4 Group functionality

To ease editing, objects can be grouped to a selection, see section 5.5 Group (selection). This is achieved by switch-

ing on the group selection toggle button

. Now each object on the work area can be added to the group by

a double click on it. A selection allows moving all objects by just moving one of its objects (provided that fixed

movement is off). Objects contained in the group are marked with a small square in the lower right corner.

• Objects can be added to (and removed from) the selection by a double click.

• The

button adds all objects from the selection.

• The

button removes all objects to the selection.

• The

button allows drawing a rectangle with the mouse. All objects, which are inside off the rectangle

or on its borders, change their state of selection.

If group selection is on, a double click on an object does no longer open the edit object dialog box.

The dialog box can be opened by the menu bar or with the edit object button

When a group selection is made, the selected objects can be operated like a single object. The respective buttons

are marked with a G in the lower right corner.

4.1.5 Grid

The grid helps to align objects on the screen. The number of grid lines can be increased or decreased using the

buttons for

horizontal grid lines, vertical grid lines or horizontal and vertical

grid lines.
