Grouping objects

Objects can be grouped together to assist with design composition. One or more groups can also belong to a 'parent' group, in which case they are nested groups.

Grouped objects

Grouped objects remain together so they can be easily selected, moved, copied, and edited as if they are a single object.

Groups, and nested groups, can be broken apart at any time into their separate components or objects. Ungrouping can be performed on individual groups, or across multiple or nested groups using a single command.

To create a group:
  1. On the Layers panel, swipe right across layers so they are selected.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Group Layers On the Layers panel, tap Group and Warp, then tap Group on the menu that appears.
    • On the Layers panel, pinch inwards on the selected layers.
    • Edit Menu From the Edit menu's Operations section, tap Group.
    • From the Quick Menu, tap Group.
To name a group:
  1. On the Layers panel, left-swipe the group entry.
  2. Select Rename Layer.
  3. Type a new name.
  4. Tap OK.

You can enable Ask for name when creating Layers and Groups setting to be prompted to name them upon creation. This is found in the Settings>User Interface section.

To ungroup objects:
  1. Select the group.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Group Layers On the Layers panel, tap Group and Warp, then tap Ungroup.
    • On the Layers panel, pinch out on the group entry.
    • Edit Menu From the Edit menu's Operations section, tap Ungroup.
