Grouping objects

You can create a group of objects, which lets you interact with all grouped items at the same time. After you create a group, you can select, move, rotate or resize 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.

Grouping objects manually

You can group and ungroup objects manually.

To group objects using the menu

  1. Select the objects.

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

To ungroup objects using the menu

  1. Select the group.

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

Grouping objects automatically

If you write or draw multiple lines, SMART Notebook software combines the lines into a single object automatically. For example, if you write the letters of a word, SMART Notebook software combines the individual letters, allowing you to interact with the whole word. If you want to write words on the same line but don’t want them combined, leave a large gap between them, use different pens, or briefly put the pen in the pen tray before writing another word (interactive whiteboards only).

If SMART Notebook software combined lines that you want to manipulate individually, ungroup the lines as described above.
