Group and Ungroup Tools

Use the following tools to group and ungroup two or more selected objects.

Note: All objects with animations and Group of Symbols objects (which includes most symbols and library objects) have multiple Object Properties dialogs and properties. You can use the drop-down list on the Object Properties dialog (Properties on the Graphics tab of the ribbon) to access these different dialogs and properties.

Click the Group tool to combine multiple objects into a single object to facilitate object selection and manipulation. (You can access each part of the group in the Object Properties dialog.)

Note: Alternatively, you can right-click on an object and select Group from the object's shortcut menu.

Click the Ungroup tool to separate a grouped object into its individual components.

Note: Alternatively, you can right-click on an object and select Ungroup from the object's shortcut menu.
Tip: A complex grouped object can consist of several sets of grouped objects (known as subgroups). Consequently, you may find it necessary to ungroup all of the subgroups to completely ungroup a complex object.
