Kiarian Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) I select multiple layers to group. I expect to see some sort of option I can simply click to group, but I can't see anything. I'm using the Work Book, and a 'group' option is supposed to come up on the Contextual Toolbar, but there is no option to group. Am I missing something? Edit: right click, and I see the option CTRL G for group. Going by the Work Book, should this option be showing up on the Contextual Toolbar?!? Just curious.

Hokusai Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Kiarian, Hello, you can't group objects using the Node tool (the white tool). If you switch to the move tool you will see the "Group" option show up on the Contextual Toolbar. Hokusai Kiarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 In the screen shot, it shows you are using node tool. Ermm, that doesn't work on layers. Switch to the select tool at the top of the tools icon column, key "v". Then command "a" all. Then, command "g" group. Done.

Ahh, so the contextual toolbar is obviously changing depending on which tool I am using. Got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armegalo Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 The big question though is why there is not a "Group" button on the layers tab, as there is in Photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a vector drawing program and layer control is more sophisticated. A standard group, and a ‘Container’ layer which is a sort of ‘super group’. That’s what you get if you click on the Add Layer button on the bottom of the Layers panel. Because Designer has a lot more control over groups and layers, I guess they didn’t want to confuse things and fill the panel up. The Edit All Layers button is related to layer/group control. Anyway, it’s easy enough to press control + G, right click on a layer and choose ‘group’ or use the menu Layer > Group. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
