METHODS FOR WORKING WITH OBJECTS 133
Moving to a defined position
The following options are provided for moving an object to a specific position:
1. Right click on the object you want to move. In the context menu that opens, click
"Objects/move crossfade/edit -> Move object...". A window opens to enter the
value of the new starting position in samples, milliseconds, SMPTE time, or beats.
2. Open the object editor to enter the desired position under "Object start".
3. If you want an object to start at the position of the play cursor, right click on the
object you want to move. In the context menu that opens select: "Object ->
Edit/move crossfade/edit -> Object to play cursor position".
Group/ungroup objects
Select all objects for the group.
Now select either the "Group" symbol in the toolbar or right click one of the selected
objects and select "Object -> Create group" in the context menu. The selected objects
now form a group.
Click the "Ungroup" symbol in the program toolbar or right click one of the selected objects
and select "Object -> Ungroup objects" from the context menu to clear the group.
"Object -> Select objects -> Temporary exclude object from group" command
removes an object from an existing group according to when it was last clicked. By clicking
on an object again and repeatedly using the function, the removed object is moved back
into the group.
Shortcuts: Ctrl + Shift + U
Shift + Ungroup button
"Object -> Select objects -> Temporary exclude all objects from groups" temporarily
ungroups all objects from the group. In this case, the "Ungroup" button will blink. If the
function is accessed again or if the blinking buttons are pressed again, then the groups will
be restored and the button will stop blinking and return to inactive status.
Shortcuts: Shortcut: "Shift + Alt + Ungroup"
Saving ignores the temporary condition, but saves the original grouping.
If "Group color" is activated in the display options, a different color will be assigned to
each group. This helps to easily distinguish the groups from one another. You can also
activate display of the group numbers in the VIP display. Individual objects may be
removed from groups by pressing ungroup while holding the "Shift" key.
Detailed information about the display options can be found in the menu reference under
"View -> VIP display (view page 491)".
