Grouping shapes

You can group shapes from the same layer to treat them as a single unit. Each shape in a group maintains its original representation and attributes. You can neither select nor modify grouped shapes individually; however, you can change individual attribute values in the Attribute Manager window.

When you group shapes, a new GroupID column is added to the Attribute Manager window. The same group ID is assigned to each record in the group.

To group shapes

  1. Select the shapes that you want to group.
  2. On the Edit menu, click Group.
