Selecting objects to group

Post by bjb007 » Thu Feb 21, 2008 6:45 am

Is there a way to select objects to group
apart from clicking on each one and taking
a chance that the cursor won't move in the
process?

A rectangle tool?

Tried to group 37 objects but Rev doesn't
seem to like it. Is there a limit?

Dear bjb007,

Just click and hold the mouse down while dragging the mouse cursor over the objects you want to select.

Best regards,

Thanks Mark. I guess it would be wise
to lock the positions first.

And is there a limit to the number of
objects in a group?

Also I see that it's possible to change
the name of a group but don't see
any obvious way in the Object Inspector.
