To edit several objects in similar ways, group them together. When objects are grouped, you can move, resize, reshape, and change their lines and materials all at once. You can also group several groups of vector objects.
When you group objects on different layers, Paint Shop Pro automatically moves them all to the layer of the first object you selected.
Each group has a label on the Layers palette and all the objects in the group are shown as components. Click the plus sign in front of the group name to show the group’s components.
Note: Even if an object belongs to a group, you can still select it on the Layers palette and edit it individually.
There are two ways to group objects: Use the Object Selection tool or use the Layers palette.
How to edit one object within a group:
Right-click the object name and choose a command from the context menu.
Move the object using the arrow keys.
To group vector objects using the Object Selection tool:
Use the Object Selection tool to select each object you want in the group.
On the Tool Options palette, click Group or choose Objects > Group.
To group objects using the Layers palette:

Press Shift and click each object you want to add to group.

Note: If you group objects from several layers, Paint Shop Pro moves them all to the layer of the first object you selected.
