Grouping Objects on a Page

You can create a group of objects, which lets you interact with all grouped items at the same time. Once you have created a group, you can select, move, rotate, resize or flip the group as if it were an individual object. However, if you want to interact with an individual object in a group, you must ungroup the objects first.

To group objects

1. Select the objects.

2. Press the menu arrow of any one of the selected objects and then select Grouping > Group.

To ungroup objects

1. Select the group.

2. Press the group's menu arrow and then select Grouping > Ungroup.

Automatic Grouping

When you draw or write on an interactive screen, SMART Notebook automatically groups the objects that you create in close proximity, enabling you to interact with these objects as a single object. For example, if you write the letters of a word, SMART Notebook groups the individual letters into a single object, allowing you to interact with the whole word.

If SMART Notebook groups objects that you want to manipulate individually, ungroup the objects, as described above.

TIP: If you want to write words on the same line but do not want SMART Notebook to group them automatically, leave a large gap between them, use different pens or put the pen back in the pen tray briefly before writing another word.
