Section Maker allows you to group together shapes within the Shape View. This allows shapes to be manipulated together as a single item. This grouping is hierarchical so groups may also be grouped inside other groups.

To group together a number of shapes

§   Select the shapes to be grouped

§   Choose Group from the Geometry menu

To ungroup a group of shapes

§   Select the shape group

§   Choose Ungroup from the Geometry menu

When placing a section or shape within the Shape View, the basic shapes representing the section or shape will automatically be grouped together as a single item. When placing a section from a library, the group will store the name of the section and display this in the Kind column in the Data table. If, however, the shape is ungrouped, this information will be lost.
