XFig has the feature when you can 'open' groups. Then you can only see that group and edit the items singly, then later close it. We might want something somewhat similar, but maybe keeping the rest shown, marking open groups with dotted lines. I've also heard requests for remembering groups when ungrouping. -Lars -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause) | Hårdgrim of Numenor I do not agree with a word that you say, but I| Retainer of Sir Kegg will defend to the death your right to say it.| of Westfield --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | Chaos Berserker of Khorne
Re: (Was: How to create shapes on the fly?)
Hi again. Thanks for your brief answer. But I'm facing a problem with it, since my version of Dia has no such option like select-group. Am I blind? Or do you use the latest CVS snapshot? (I am not root here...too bad...) Or do you mean this option is hidden at another place of the program but the menu? cu Andre -- GOTO statement considered harmful -- E. W. Dijkstra

Or do you mean this option is hidden at another place of the program but the menu? I've just re-tried with both 0.86 and my CVS copy to be sure (but I could swear this was older). Select a few objects, then right click on them. Group is in fact the Objects submenu, not the Select one (sorry for that braino).
