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 a single object. To interact with an individual object in a group, ungroup the objects first.

Grouping objects manually

ClosedTo group objects

Grouping objects automatically

If you write or draw multiple lines, SMART Meeting Pro PE software automatically combines the lines into a single object. For example, if you write the letters of a word, SMART Meeting Pro PE software combines the individual letters, enabling 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 Meeting Pro PE software combined lines that you want to manipulate individually, select the lines and ungroup them as described above.
