Grouping Objects on a Page

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, 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 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 don't 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.
