To select all objects on the current page
1 Choose Select All from the Edit menu.
All objects on the page appear enclosed by individual selection rectangles.
Moving Objects
You may need to occasionally rearrange the objects on a page or move objects between pages. To do
this, you must cut or copy and paste the selected object(s). Also, you can move objects in a stack and
control the object order within that stack. For example, if the number of objects on one page becomes
distracting, you can stack them on top of one another. For information on rearranging objects that you’ve
stacked, see Rearranging Stacked Objects on page 23.
To move a single object or several objects
1 Select the object(s) as described in the previous procedure.
2 Select Edit > Cut or Edit > Copy.
3 Move to the new page.
4 Select Edit > Paste.
Grouping and Ungrouping Objects
You may want to group several objects into a single graphical object. That way, when you select one object
in this group, the entire group is automatically selected. You can then move, edit, and size the group as a
single object.
Notebook software automatically places hand-drawn objects created within the same area in the same
object group. For example, letters written in close proximity are grouped together. This is called the
SMART Grouping feature. You can turn this feature off, thereby removing the guide boxes that appear
when you’re creating your annotations.
When you group objects, the original multiple selection boxes within the group are replaced by a single
selection box. When you cut or copy a grouped selection, the grouping is retained in the pasted result. In
addition, the grouping is preserved across any number of file saves.
However, once you create a group from a collection of objects, you can ungroup it. As well, you can
ungroup any automatic grouping that’s not to your liking. However, you can’t edit, resize or move individual
objects in a group, but you can assign attributes to the entire group.
To group several objects
1 Click Select in the Draw menu.
2 Select the objects you want to group (see page 21).
3 Select Group from the Draw menu.
The individually selected objects will be combined into a single object.
To ungroup an object group
1 Click Select from in Draw menu.
2 Select the object group you want to ungroup (see page 21).
