Selecting a single object from within a group
This feature is useful for changing an object's color, for example. "Ctrl + click" on the object (you can
also use this to select a "group within a group"). Pressing "Tab", or "Shift + Tab" moves the selection
within the group, to the next, or previous object. Once you have selected an object inside a group, you
can also use "Alt + click" to select the object under the selected one.
This is called "select inside".
Groups and layers
There's more about layers in Layers
.
If all the objects to be grouped are in one layer, the group is created in that layer. The group is at the
level of the highest member of the group, i.e. the group does not automatically become the front object.
If the objects are in more than one layer, then the group is created in the layer containing the object
nearest the front.
