good morning,

i cant find any way to add an object to an existing group. usually, i have to ungroup, reselect all objects and make a new group. but this seems a bit complicated if there´re a couple of objects in the group.

is there a better way to add?

thanks
Thomas

You can use :

create <obj reference)> in group "groupName"

if you want a new object, or you can copy an existing one :

copy <object reference >to group "groupname

great, thx.

it seems that there some issues in grouphandling. youre not able to ungroup a group or change its layer if its nested in another group. not that big problem but would be a lovely feature

There's also the "start editing" command for groups, which works with nested groups.

I agree that editing groups is rather inconvenient.

Hi. I want to put an image that was selected in mobilepickphoto into a group.
It started as a templateImage. I renamed it to "imageupload"
then after it uploaded:

copy image "imageUpload" to group "group_volunteer"

worked great...but now I have 2 images

I can't say delete image "imageupload" because I have 2 of them...
I can't say delete templateimage because it doesn't recognize it.
I can't say - delete image "imageupload" that isn't in group "group_volunteer"

I'm sure I'm being stupid..but how do I get rid of the first image that isn't in the group?

Hi cusingerBUSCw5N,

I would:
...
copy image "imageUpload" to group "group_volunteer"
set the name of last img of grp "group_volunteer" to "imageupload2"
# or whatever

## Now you can:
delete img "imageupload"
...

Best
